“I really don’t know how it’s going to go,” Hamilton stated as quoted RacingNews365.com. “I think they’ve [Red Bull] definitely improved their car with some sort of upgrade [in Belgium], which we didn’t obviously get to see the true pace of it.

“We’ve given absolutely everything,” said Lewis Hamilton. “Even since the first race, these guys [Red Bull] have just had such a strong car all year and we’re trying as hard as we can. We had a couple of races where it looked like we were on par with them, or just slightly ahead, but there’s only been a couple of those. Then they took a big leap and it’s been difficult. I guess it’s so close, that you can’t really overtake in a lot of these places that we’ve been to previously, because we are so closely matched.” 

The seven-time World champion concluded by stating, “But there’s nothing really more I can say, we just have to keep our heads down and keep working, keep pushing. We are ahead in the team championship which is great. But, of course, we need to pick up some speed, if we want to be able to win races in the future.”
