‘It’s important to win every race somehow’

It is a race he badly needs to win to boost his hopes of landing an unprecedented eighth world title, a prospect he conceded as being very difficult to achieve

Lewis Hamilton adopted a cheerful, but realistic stance on Thursday after arriving in Texas ahead of this weekend’s United States Grand Prix. 

It is a race he badly needs to win to boost his hopes of landing an unprecedented eighth world title, a prospect he conceded as being very difficult to achieve. The Mercedes driver, who is seeking a record-increasing sixth win at the Circuit of the Americas to overhaul Dutch rival Max Verstappen’s six-point lead with six races to go, said he was taking the title run-in one race at a time. “It’s important to win every race somehow, you know, maximising our points—that’s our goal over these next six races—and it’s going to be incredibly difficult,” he said. 

“And there will be moments where we can perhaps edge them [Red Bull] out and I don’t like to assume that Mexico is not going to be strong, but they are usually very strong in Mexico,” he added.
