'The fastest car I have seen seen' - Lewis Hamilton says Red Bull quicker than Mercedes ever were in F1
Hamilton, who won six of his seven world titles🅷 amid Mercedes’ unchallenged reign of F1 glory from 2014-2020, called Red Bull’s RB19 “the fastest car I have seen”.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez led Red Bull’s second one-two of the season in Sunday’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen stormed through the field to take second.
Verstappen’s charge included an easy pass on 2021 title rival ꩲHamilton, who admitted he didn’t even bother to put up a fight.
"I have d🦋efinitely never seen a car so fast," Hamilton said.
"When we were fast, we were not that fast. That is the fastestಌ car I have seen, especially compared to the rest.
"I don't know how, but he [Verstappen] came p📖ast me with some serious speed and I didn't even bother to block him because there was a masಞsive speed difference.
"Everyo🌱ne wants to see a close battle, but🦩 it is the way it is. It is not my problem, it is not my fault.”
But Mercedes boss Toto Wolff ꦍdisagreed with 🃏Hamilton’s claim.
“We have had those years when we were a🎉s strong," Wolff said.
"It is a meritocracy. Even if it is not great for the show th𝔍at the same guys win all the time, it is because they have d🀅one a good job and we haven’t.
"We shouldn't down-talk it, because I remember hearing question꧟s like that in 2014-2020, and what makes the sport so sp🌼ecial is that you need to work hard to win and you deserve it as a matter of fact.
"Entertainment follows sport. It is maybe not good from the commerci𓃲al side but it is what makes F1 so specia🎉l.”
Meanwhile, Hamilton’s teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell praised Red Bull’s achievement.
"You’ve got to give credit to what R🎶ed Bull have♔ done," he said.
"The gap they have to the rest o༒f the field, I think is bigger than we’ve seen probably since Mercedes in 2014. It’s a serious, serious gap and I guess everybody needs t🅘o keep working harder to understand how to close that gap.
"But we know we didn't make the right decisions over the♔ winte🙈r and I think we can regain some of that performance quicker than you would do ordinarily. So everything's not all lost."
