The seven-time champion says this year's Red Bull machines may be the most dominant the sport has seen since 2014.
Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton thinks Formula 1 has entered a period of unprecedented dominance by a single team.
"I've never seen a car that fast," Hamilton said, after reigning champion Max Verstappen raced his way through the field from a 15th-places start in theat Jeddah to complete another easy Red Bull 1-2 behind teammate Sergio Perez. "When we were fast," Hamilton said of his team's eight-year run of Constructors' Championship from 2014 to 2021."We weren't that fast. I think this is the fastest car I've ever seen, especially compared to the rest. I don't know how or why, but it passed me very fast.
Sergio Perez, right, won on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, while Max Verstappen turned heads coming from 15th to finish second."I didn't even bother to block because there was such a big difference," said Hamilton, referring to when Verstappen passed him on the high-speed street circuit. You have to give credit to what Red Bull has done. I think the gap they've opened up to the rest is bigger than what we've probably seen since Mercedes in 2014.
