Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, asserted that Red Bull will continue to rule the sport for the next two seasons at their current pace.
Following the introduction of the 2022 regulations, Mercedes has made an effort to get closer to their competitors, Red Bull.
The Silver Arrows have improved over the course of the next two seasons, but they have only been able to maintain a competitive edge and have only won one race.
Red Bull has been making rapid improvements in the meantime, which has helped thwart attempts by other teams to catch up with their car’s development.
It has resulted in an almost unprecedented era of supremacy in Formula 1 history. Max Verstappen, the driver at the head of the team, achieves the most win % in a single season in 2023.
He has already won 17 of the 20 races he has entered to help him win the drivers’ title for a third time in a row, and that trend doesn’t appear to be ending anytime soon.
Hamilton exposed Mercedes’s lackluster performance in comparison to their competitors’ supremacy, as Verstappen easily won in Brazil.
Hamilton remarked, “I think the Red Bull is so far away.” “I think they’re probably going to be very clear for the next couple of years.”

Mercedes experienced one of the worst days in the team’s recent history, while the two RB19s had a great afternoon at Interlagos.
Their drivers’ lack of cooperation first caused uncertainty, and George Russell’s frustration grew.
Russell then accepted his fate as the team decided to retire the car after Hamilton was unable to maintain his lead after being passed by both Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez while they were still in the race.
In the last few laps, Pierre Gasly’s Alpine overtook Hamilton, who could only manage a wretched ninth place.
The 103-time race winner acknowledged in his post-race speech that even before the grand prix began, he was aware of the magnitude of the task ahead.
“I was aware that today would be challenging,” Hamilton added. “I knew it would be difficult because there was nothing different in the automobile from yesterday to today.
“The car was slow on straightaways, had no grip in turns, and the tires were overheating.”
“In the end, all I can do is
