Lewis Hamilton is hoping that McLaren's switch to Mercedes power units next season can help move them back into contention at the top of the Formula One tree alongside the Silver Arrows and Red Bull Racing. In recent seasons McLaren have enjoyed a period of rapid improvement, with the team clinching third place in the constructor's standings this time around. Hamilton believes that the switch back to Mercedes power could be the change needed to spark a return to the top for the Woking-based outfit. “I’m really happy to see the McLaren so close, particularly with how they’ve got changes and they’re using our engine next year,” the seven-time world champion said. “It’s great to see that at the end of the year with a good car so that they can perhaps be in the fight with us next year. If that makes it a three-way team championship, I think that would be amazing for the fans to see.”
