Formula 1 | Hamilton: “Almost impossible to win in Singapore, Red Bull is unbeatable”

Lewis Hamilton is not waiting to fight for victory in the next Singapore GP, the 17th round of the 2022 Formula 1 world championship. Despite the steps forward made by Mercedes in recent months, the W14, which among other things is now "abandoned" in terms of update (the technicians are starting to concentrate their energies on the 2023 car), he suffers from a performance gap that is still too wide compared to Red Bull, an aspect that effectively prevents him and George Russell from looking with optimism at the final "rush" of this championship.

“Winning in Singapore would be very nice, but unfortunately we have to be realistic,” said the Mercedes Englishman. “Red Bull is unbeatable at the moment. In terms of performance they are head and shoulders above everyone else and unfortunately, race after race, I am increasingly aware that it will take time before I reach their level. At the moment we are without updates and this obviously precludes almost all possibilities. We can't compete. The only chance is that something goes wrong with him."
