“There’s seemingly no weakness now, which is ominous for the opposition, not just this year but in the future too.” Red Bull also hold a commanding lead in the Constructors’ Championship with Sergio Perez doing his job to keep Ferrari and Mercedes at bay.
But Mercedes showed that they were closing the gap heading into the summer break with back-to-back podium finishes for both their drivers in France and Hungary. All eyes will be on Mercedes this weekend for the race at Spa and whether Hamilton and George Russell can finally compete with their rivals for a race win.
Hamilton has won four races at the Belgian Grand Prix and a victory this weekend would move him level with Ayton Senna. No F1 driver has won more races at Spa than Michael Schumacher, who took the checked flag a record six times.
