Lewis Hamilton says he doesn’t want to rely on misfortune hitting Red Bull’s Max Verstappen to win races and that Mercedes must “level up” to match Formula 1's dominators.Red Bull has won every race in 2023, with Verstappen currently on a record run of 10 consecutive grand prix victories after his Monza triumph two weeks ago.
"I don't like to look at that sort of thing," when asked by Motorsport.com about the possibility of Verstappen being tripped up ahead of this weekend's Singapore Grand Prix. "I just want to level up all of us. But there's a lot of opportunity for sure in these next eight races. So just trying to make sure that we are prepared to be there if something does happen to be coming our way. But we remain hopeful for that."
"So hopefully, we are maybe a little bit closer than to the front. I'm hoping we can fight for a podium. I'll find out tomorrow with everybody, but that's the reality."
