Lewis Hamilton has faith he will win a race in his troublesome Mercedes this season — just not at this weekend's Austrian Grand Prix.
After a grim first half of the year, the seven-time world champion arrives in Spielberg for Sunday's race confident his car is finally showing its potential.
Last weekend's British Grand Prix extended his winless run to 11 races, the longest in his standout career that has seen him top the podium on 103 occasions.
But third-placed Hamilton was almost as happy as if he, and not Carlos Sainz, had taken the chequered flag after his Mercedes at last battled shoulder to shoulder with the Red Bulls and Ferraris.
