Hamilton has hopes for Red Bull: "Everyone wants to see us all compete together"

"As soon as the start was done and the restart, you generally know that I don’t make too many mistakes, and the same with these drivers, they’re very very consistent," Hamilton said during the press conference when asked whether Mercedes' dominance is a positive for Formula 1.

Not much happened at Spa-Francorchamps, so it was not a spectacular Sunday afternoon. "It’s very difficult to overtake in this circuit so I can imagine, it’s definitely not the most exciting. I feel exactly the same as Max; it wasn’t the most exciting battle. I generally really enjoy myself in the car because if you don’t enjoy the moment, what’s the point in doing in it. I’m still enjoying the battle. Every time I come through turn 15, I look in my mirror, I see where Valtteri is, whether he’s closer or further behind, taking in the knowledge of what times he’s doing, the gaps between him and Max and really trying to get a perfect balance each and every single lap," Hamilton continues.

Hamilton on more struggles

Hamilton argues that this is still a huge challenge for him, but that he understands fans hope to see a different kind of Formula 1. "It’s perhaps not as fun for people to watch but when you’re in it; it’s a little bit different. But of course, I would love to have a real race. I’ve definitely had races in the past here which are a little bit closer, trying to follow the Ferrari and stay on top of them but they could overtake because they had all that extra power. I think the Red Bulls have improved. I really hope that we have more of a race because I think everyone wants to see us all battling together," the six-time world champion concluded.
