“I think my move has shown that anything’s possible and it’s going to be a really interesting next six months or so,” Hamilton said.
“Having worked within the team, I know obviously Adrian gets all the praise for everybody’s work.
“I know he’s a huge part of it, but I know there’s so many engineers in the background that are a huge part of developing the team and the car that they have and it’s not down to one person.
“So it’s not my decision. I’m competing against him this year at the moment, so I can’t really talk about next year so far just yet,” the Briton concluded.
