Lewis Hamilton has said that he wants Red Bull to have a competitive car to add to the levels of competition at the top of Formula 1.
Lewis Hamilton is hopeful of a three-way title race between his Mercedes team, Ferrari and Red Bull. Hamilton wants more competition to help make Formula 1 more exciting and perhaps to cement his legacy as one of the best Formula 1 drivers.
When speaking about his competition for the 2019 season Hamilton said to the official Formula 1 website, “I would imagine it’s going to be Sebastian (as my main rival), and Valtteri (Bottas) alongside me, but will Red Bull… they’ve got a great car, and they were very strong at the end of the year,”
“They’ve got a new engine next year. Will it be able to compete with ours? I hope so because that would be epic if Red Bull could really start to mingle with us a bit more, weekend in, weekend out.
“They’ve got to obviously improve on their reliability which has been a big downfall for them this year. So there’s lots of areas, but I really wish them all the best - and we are down for the competition that’s for sure.”
It would definitely be exciting to see three top teams be able to compete in 2019.
