Lewis Hamilton makes "trouble" claim about Mercedes ahead of Grand Prix in Brazil

Lewis Hamilton has claimed that Mercedes could be "in trouble" against Red Bull's current pace during the Brazilian Grand Prix. The 36-year-old came home 16 seconds behind Max Verstappen in the Mexico City Grand Prix, with the Dutch driver checking out up front once he took the lead into Turn 1. And speaking to the media ahead of Grand Prix in Brazil, Hamilton said:

"Obviously, 19 points is a lot of points. He's (Verstappen) had a lot of wins this year.   "I think today with their superior speed, if they were to carry that into the next [races], then we may be in trouble – or we will be in trouble.   "I don't know if they'll be using that huge wing that they had on today. Naturally, we'll find out when we get there, but I hope we're closer.    "We need to sort out our braking.    "I mean, braking's been an issue for me all weekend. I went on twice in Turn 1 through practice, qualifying... locking [the tyres].   "Our car for some reason, this weekend, has been quite poor in that area, and that's a particular area in which they're a lot stronger than us. When you put more load on the car, it does help, but we couldn't match them load-wise in terms of wing setting this weekend."
