Lewis Hamilton says he believes Red Bull “are already working on next year’s car, so we need to take our eye a little bit off the ball and focus on next year also”.
After finishing the Canadian Grand Prix in P3, Lewis Hamilton praised Mercedes’ development direction.
“It’s been a great weekend, very difficult with the conditions, but loving being in the car now with the car in a better window and a bit more on the right track,” the Briton said.
“And for us to be up there, having battles with Fernando in the Aston, and being just on the second row, it’s been great.
“And to be on the podium, two races in a row is really, really fantastic for us. We were also running fourth in Monaco, so we’re definitely getting closer.”

However, Lewis also warned that it might be time to start switching focus to Mercedes’ 2024 car.
“It’s going to be a battle of development, I guess, over the rest of the season.
“I reckon Max’s team are already working on next year’s car, so we need to take our eye a little bit off the ball and focus on next year also.
“But yeah, happy to be up there [on the podium],” Hamilton concluded.
