"I'm more focused on making sure we have the car next year to challenge them from day one," added Hamilton. Red Bull have won all seven races so far this year, Verstappen five of them.
Speaking to reporters, Hamilton said Mercedes would keep chasing down the Red Bulls - he finished 24 seconds behind Verstappen - and hoped to be challenging by the end of the year. "We definitely didn't expect to have the result we had today," said Hamilton, who has yet to sign a new contract for next season. The team sent reserve driver Mick Schumacher back to the factory for intensive simulator work on Friday night while Hamilton said he had stayed up until around 11pm seeking solutions. The points sent Mercedes second in the constructors' championship, ahead of Aston Martin, and the happy faces contrasted to the gloom after Friday practice when Hamilton spoke of struggling to get in the top 10. "As long as I've been racing, if you're quick here you should be good elsewhere." "We've definitely got steps to continue taking to try and close the gap to the Red Bulls but this is way more than I expected this weekend and I thoroughly enjoyed the race. "The car felt great," he told Sky Sports television. "Mega job guys, Mega job," Hamilton shouted over the team radio at the chequered flag.
