After getting P3 at the Spanish Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton says the target now is “just having consistency and seeing if we can put the team further up in the points”.
Mercedes has been steadily improving over the past few races, and at the Spanish Grand Prix, they managed to finish in a solid P3 and P4.
After the race, Lewis Hamilton was asked if a win is on the horizon, and how important it is for him to get another victory before the end of his Mercedes career.
“It would be nice,” the Briton said.
“But I think considering where we’ve come from, I think… Yeah, I think just having consistency and seeing if we can put the team further up in the points, I think it’s got to be the target.
“But I think right now, let’s just try and have more consistent weekends like this and then we’ll see. But we aren’t yet currently in a position to be able to fight them for wins.

“You would say that maybe Montréal… I mean, George probably should have won that one, but if I’d qualified where I feel I should have, there was potential also there too.
“So we’ll see in the next few races. I think we’ve got these high-speed circuits. You know, the McLaren’s always been quick and the Red Bull has been quick in A1 Ring.
“Silverstone, they’ll also be very fast there but I’m hoping that we are able to eke a little bit closer to them and give them a bit more trouble in the next four or five races.
“And then we’ve just got to keep bringing upgrades. We’ve got to keep improving the car.
“There’s a clear improvement and there’s just clear areas where we need to bolt on performance so that we can be in the fight with them,” Hamilton concluded.
