Hamilton wants to match Red Bull, Ferrari by Silverstone

Lewis Hamilton has set a target for his Mercedes team, wanting them to be battling Red Bull and Ferrari at the front by the field by the time the British Grand Prix comes around.

The reigning Constructors’ champions have been in what team principal Toto Wolff called a “no man’s land” of solidly having the third fastest car, which is “not acceptable” to them given their lofty standards and expectations in the team since the turbo hybrid era began in 2014.

Hamilton has continually backed his team to succeed in getting the W13 into contention at the front, praising the work that has gone on behind the scenes to try and bridge the gap to Red Bull and Ferrari – which has generally been between five and eight tenths per lap in qualifying so far in 2022.
