With Red Bull securing the championship on Suzuka many teams have turned their attention to next year.<\/p>\n
Such is the case with Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton, who still believes the Silver Arrows have what it takes to catch the dominant Bulls.<\/p>\n
The seven time world champion urged his team to step up their game and prove once again that they are a champions material.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are things that I\u2019ve asked for that we\u2019ve gone in a direction, part of the direction for next year. I think all the points that George and I give have been fully listened to.” Hamilton said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no idea where the car is going to be next year. But we are a long, long way away. We\u2019ve got to hope the next sixth months has to be the greatest six months of development that we\u2019ve ever had just to close that gap, to be really banging on the door.”<\/p>\n
As for the moment Mercedes is involved in heated fight for second place with Ferrari, who have emerged much stronger after the summer break and have significantly closed the gap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
