Hamilton really concerned: "Then we may be in trouble"

Lewis Hamilton looked defeated at the end of the race. A gap of 19 points is a particularly large margin for Max Verstappen in the battle for the title and the Mercedes driver sees his eighth title slowly slipping from his fingers in 2021.

Hamilton's face was filled with disappointment as he stepped out of his car. He had managed to hold off Sergio Perez, but he came in far behind Verstappen. At the press conference, Hamilton spoke about the gap.

Hamilton hugely disappointed

"There are still four races, there’s still… obviously 19 points is a lot of points and I think, was that your ninth or 10th win? So, you know, he’s had a lot of wins this year," Hamilton said during the press conference.

"I think today with their superior speed, if they were to carry that into the next ones then we may be in trouble – or we will be in trouble. I don’t know if they’ll be wearing… be using that huge wing that they had on today, naturally we’ll find out when we get there but I hope we’re closer," concludes a disappointed Lewis.
