Lewis Hamilton says “there is a chance that Red Bull, with the cost cap and the way it’s set up now, they’re so far ahead that they could dominate for the next three years”.
For the past year and a half, Red Bull has been completely dominating Formula 1.
Lewis Hamilton has already highlighted the fact that dominant teams are able to keep their advantage by being able to start working on next year’s cars earlier than others, and now he also warns that the cost cap is preventing others from catching up.
“There is a chance that Red Bull, with the cost cap and the way it’s set up now, they’re so far ahead that they could dominate for the next three years,” the Briton told Channel 4.
“And Max [Verstappen] and his team have done an exceptional job and they truly deserve the success they’re having, and I’m not trying to taint that at all.”

Lewis adds he believes something can be done to prevent another long period of domination.
“As I said, it’s just about the conversation and so that we don’t have my period, or [Michael] Schumacher’s period just continued time and time again.
“We’ve got to continue to make changes and improve as a sport so we have closer battles in the championship.
“Like, having that edge of the wire championship battle to the last race is the greatest, it’s amazing.” Hamilton concluded.
