F1 | Hamilton: “Red Bull is the fastest car at the moment”

The Baku event also highlighted the great competitiveness of Red Bull who managed to take the victory with Sergio Perez, after the retirement suffered by Max Verstappen. The resulting negative race for Mercedes, with both drivers out of the points, is a wake-up call for the Star which if it wants to continue winning titles will have to seriously deal with Milton Keynes. In this regard, Lewis Hamilton admitted that at the moment the Austrian car is the fastest on the grid, with Mercedes having to continue working to be able to count on that lead gap again.

"Red Bull clearly has the fastest car right now. It's very, very difficult to keep up with them – declared Hamilton, quoted by Crash.net – Red Bull is incredibly fast and with both drivers, this will make things more difficult for us. This is what we expected from the start of the season, so we need to focus and improve".
