In an interview with Fox Sports, Hamilton insisted he’s still “ready to win a world championship” in F1.

“I don’t like driving not great cars,” Hamilton said while laꦍughing. “I don’t like driving a car tꩲhat’s not the car that we weren’t meant to have but I love that challenge of ‘OK, what can I do with it? 

“Wins are not possible right so what is the maximum we can get? “Can we be a little cheeky and if fifth is the best we can get,🎃 can we get a fourth or a third? 

“Just make sure we are consistent and fit and ready so when the car does ಌall of a sudden switch on and it is the car you dreamed of having, you’re ready. 

“I am ready to win a world championship. I have prepared the bes⭕t way I can this year - the best I have ever prepared - and if the car comes correct tomorrow I will be ready to fight for the world championship but unf🍬ortunately that's not the case. 

“I am w💮orking with everyone here and back at the factory t🎃o get there.”

Hamilton sits fourth in the 2023 F1 drivers’ championship after three rounds, sitting behind Verstappen, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sergio Perez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso.
