Lewis Hamilton was left frustrated after failing to beat Max Verstappen's pace during Styrian Grand Prix, which saw the Dutchman extend his lead to 18 points in Austria. Verstappen crossed the line in Austria with a mighty 35.743-second lead over Hamilton. Speaking after the race, Hamilton admitted it was a tough 71 laps for the Mercedes team. "It was a bit of a lonely race really," said Hamilton. "I was trying to keep up with those guys [Red Bull], but the speed they have, they've obviously made some big improvements over the last couple of races and impossible to keep up. "I don't know why we lose all the time but I think the long run seems to be a bit better, they seem to be able to continue putting out those laps, and obviously on the straights, we lose a lot but nevertheless we got good points as a team today, and we've just got to keep pushing." Hamilton says the key now is to try and look towards the next race, and improve as a team. "I try not to concern myself with that I mean, naturally they faster, they're just faster. So, not a lot I can do in that respect to just got to keep trying to just do the best job I can each weekend. We need to find some performance, we need an upgrade of some sort, we need to push I don't know where, whether it's just the rear wing or whether it's the upgrade in the engine whatever it may be, but we've got to find some performance from somewhere."
