JAKARTA - Mercedes GP driver, Lewis Hamilton, is in trouble. He was afraid he would finish the Formula 1 season without a win for the first time.
The seven-time world champion had at least one win in his 15-year career in the land fighter sport.
However, this season Hamilton did not get qualified support to do that. The Mercedes car looked unsatisfactory.
In addition to the pace of world champion Max Verstappen, which Hamilton says is "almost unbeaten".
"We have to be realistic. Red Bull is almost unbeaten. It takes real effort to beat that car," Hamilton said as reported by The Sun.
"In terms of performance, we haven't chased them, and we don't have an improvement that will allow us to overtake them. So, it will take luck to win."
"It's not impossible, because we can beat them in Budapest. However, Max is generally very cold upfront, so you'll never know their real speed," he continued.
Verstappen is in brilliant form and has won the last five races. In total, he has won 11 races this season.
The Dutchman can win the 2022 world title in Singapore if the results are as expected.
Verstappen should be the champion, while hoping Leclerc finishes no better than eighth, and team-mate Sergio Perez, out of the top three.
