Lewis Hamilton believes Red Bull’s drop in performance this season is not unusual in Formula 1. In the recent race, Hamilton achieved his best result of the 2024 season so far. The seven-time world champion finished third at the Circuit de Catalunya, with his teammate finishing fourth, securing his first podium since last October.
Hamilton said he was not surprised that other teams had caught up with Red Bull due to its recent decline in performance. He explained that this is a normal part of the sport. As teams approach the end of this generation of cars, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to improve their performance. Hamilton pointed out that this is a common trend in Formula 1, where the leading teams end up having difficulty maintaining their advantage. Recently, Hamilton expressed his dissatisfaction with Red Bull’s declining performance.
According to Hamilton, Red Bull has been in the lead for many years, but now they have less time to develop their car. He believes that the longer a team stays at the top, the harder it becomes for them to continue improving. So it’s natural that other teams are slowly closing in on them. However, Hamilton stressed that despite these challenges, Red Bull is still doing well and remains a strong competitor.
Hamilton was optimistic about his qualifying performance, noting the progress made in the previous race. The team has conducted extensive analysis and gathered information to identify areas where they can improve. Hamilton stressed that they are working hard to determine what needs to be done to achieve better results. He remains optimistic that these efforts will lead to better performances in the upcoming races.
The improvements the team is primarily focusing on are the tires. They are dedicated to refining processes from session to session. Hamilton mentioned that things start to improve when they reach the qualifying phase. He expressed optimism, acknowledging that only time will tell if these changes will make a significant difference. The team is committed to continuous improvement and hopes that these efforts will translate into better results in the upcoming races. Hamilton was confident that their hard work would be worth it and that they were on the right track to better performances.
Lewis Hamilton has expressed some optimism about his qualifying form after a positive run at the Spanish Grand Prix. He mentioned that there has been a significant amount of analysis and requests for information from the team on how they can improve. Hamilton fans would be delighted to see him secure back-to-back podiums and create memorable moments before he leaves for Ferrari.
