Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton reflects on his disqualification from the United States Grand Prix, insisting the sport suffers from such moves.
Lewis Hamilton believes Mercedes 'can really take the fight' to Red Bull at this weekend's Mexico City Grand Prix. A final major upgrade of the season brought to Mercedes' W14 at last weekend's United States Grand Prix gave Hamilton a car that could have finished ahead of world champion Max Verstappen if it hadn't been for a poor strategy choice.
'Looking at the behaviour of our car this year, with the low-speed corners and the kerbing as well, our car's just not very good on that.'So I do expect it to be tough, especially over one lap. The race, I don't really know. Normally we've been always quite decent in race trim, but over one lap I do think it's going to be quite a tight battle.'Not only Mercedes, I think Ferrari as well, McLaren - lately they've been very strong as well over one lap.
