LEWIS HAMILTON has made a bleak Formula One prediction for the 2024 season – as Mercedes struggles go from bad to worse.<\/p>\n
The seven-time world champion claimed that Red Bull will continue their dominance over the "next couple of years."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since the 2022 regulations for F1 cars were introduced Mercedes have deeply struggled to fight for the top position.<\/p>\n
While the Silver Arrows have attempted to close their gap to rivals Red Bull they have only won a single race in the last two seasons.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Red Bull has dominated the leaderboards in record-breaking style as leading driver Max Verstappen has achieved the highest win percentage of any driver in a single season.<\/p>\n
With Verstappen's victories not coming to an end any time soon, Hamilton gave his call on how the next few seasons will turn out.<\/p>\n
He said: "The Red Bull, I think, is so far away. I think they're probably going to be very clear for the next couple of years."<\/p>\n Verstappen so far this year has 17 victories from 20 races while accumulating three straight drivers' titles.<\/p>\n The Belgian\u2019s victory in Sao Paulo at the weekend was a sharp contrast to the dismal performance of Mercedes.<\/p>\n Mercedes suffered one of their lowest moments in recent history at the Interlagos.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n The British racing team have had issues with their cars for a while now but this weekend was a horror show for Toto Wolff's side.<\/p>\n Hamilton ended up miles off the podium and finished eighth after being overtaken by Alpine's Pierre Gasly in the final laps.<\/p>\n While fellow Brit and team-mate George Russell was forced to retire the car on lap 58 of 71.<\/p>\n But before the race had even begun the 103-time race-winner sensed trouble looming.<\/p>\n Hamilton continued: "I knew that we would have a difficult day. Nothing changed in the car from yesterday to today, so I knew it would be tough.<\/p>\n "The tyres were overheating, the car was slow on the straights, no grip in corners. Ultimately, all I can do is try and remain optimistic."<\/p>\n<\/picture>DRIVING HOME <\/span><\/p>\n
