Hamilton sees less enthusiasm at Red Bull: 'Can hear it from Horner'

Lewis Hamilton thinks the dominance of Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing is beginning to bore even the team. The Mercedes driver believes this from the reactions of team boss Christian Horner.

Hamilton listens to Horner

Hamilton, who experienced years of dominance at Mercedes after the hybrid era was introduced in Formula 1, thinks Red Bull are beginning to become over-accustomed to winning. He hears this on the team radio.

"When you have so much success, no matter how hard you try, it’s hard to keep things in perspective. I even hear it in Christian Horner’s voice when Max wins. He doesn’t know what to say. He’s like: ‘Here we go again. Good job, Max. Good job.'" Hamilton said in a conversation with Channel 4.

"The excitement goes, but when you first get that win, it’s amazing. But if you have it all the time..." he added. "I think through adversity and through this experience for two years, I feel like I’ve learned a huge amount as a driver – not necessarily on track but particularly off track in terms of how I engage with everyone, and I like to think that’s a real positive."
