Lewis Hamilton has insisted he hopes the next race in Singapore is "competitive between Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull" with Charles Leclerc winning two consecutive races for Ferrari.

Leclerc has won his first two grands prix in Belgium and Italy respectively and suddenly it seems as if Ferrari are competitive yet again this season.

Hamilton has insisted despite not winning a race since Hungary in early August, that he wants the competitive battles between Mercedes and Ferrari and even Red Bull to continue for the remainder of the season.

"I'm not thinking that way. I'm not looking forward to the next race thinking it's going to swing our way," Hamilton said to RaceFans. "When we go to the factory next week we're going to do the same process, hope we can improve our car, improve our method on a weekend and do a better job.

"I hope I can do a better job in the next race. If they are as competitive, great. I hope it's competitive between us and the Red Bulls and the Ferraris in the next race. I personally want this battle to continue. More opportunities like that would be great."

Next weekend, the Singapore Grand Prix is on the agenda, somewhere Hamilton has been extremely successful; especially in recent years.
