“The things that I am working on, I’m like: ‘These are the things you’ve got to probably have for next year.’
“Maybe I shouldn’t be doing that, but I want the team to excel and succeed regardless of whether I am here or not.”
As for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, after he qualified in P8, the Briton said:
“I’ll try and get past [Yuki] Tsunoda if I can. That would be helpful, and then after that, it’s really just about managing the tyres.
“The cars ahead of George are faster, so that’s kind of where we are,” Hamilton concluded.
