Lewis Hamilton sees especially Red Bull Racing as a threat to Mercedes during the Hungarian Grand Prix. Nevertheless Hamilton and his team mate Valtteri Bottas have every confidence in the speed of the W11.
Fight with Red Bull
"It's a totally different circuit than the Red Bull Ring. Power matters a little less here, downforce a little more. That's why Red Bull Racing is always doing well here", Hamilton told several British media during the press conference.
"I think the field here is collapsing a bit. We've already seen during qualifying and the race in Austria that Red Bull has much more speed", the British continued. He therefore expects that Red Bull could make the Mercedes difficult in Hungary.
Verstappen expects a difficult weekend
Max Verstappen said earlier that he thinks it will be very difficult to beat Mercedes at the Hungaroring. He therefore hopes that the weather can play a significant role.
