Lewis Hamilton previews Las Vegas Grand Prix<\/h3>\n

Lewis Hamilton has predicted that he won\u2019t win the Las Vegas Grand Prix after whimpering to an eighth-place finish at the Brazilian Grand Prix earlier this month. The seven-time world champion is the joint most successful driver in F1 history alongside Michael Schumacher but hasn\u2019t won a race for two years amid a downturn in fortunes for Mercedes.<\/p>\n

Hamilton won six of his titles with Mercedes during a purple patch for the Silver Arrows. But Mercedes\u2019 F1 dominance came to an end in 2022 after teams were forced to redesign their cars following a string of regulation changes.<\/p>\n

Mercedes have failed to keep pace with Red Bull since the new rules were introduced, with Hamilton struggling just to secure podium finishes in recent times. And the 38-year-old, who was outshone by a whole host of his rivals in South America last time out, doesn\u2019t believe his team can turn their fortunes around in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 100 per cent know what went wrong there [in Brazil], but still ultimately we didn\u2019t do a good job,\u201d Hamilton told Sky Sports. \u201cBut a lot of learnings from it in terms of where we need to go, where we need to develop. Through failure there\u2019s always a lot of things you can learn, mostly that you learn from those experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cComing here we hopefully have a better approach. But we still don\u2019t know how the car\u2019s going to be here. It\u2019s still not a world championship-winning car and I don\u2019t even think it\u2019s probably a race-winning car still.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the Brazilian Grand Prix, Hamilton explained: \u201cOne thing, the car is really unpredictable. In a sense of one weekend it feels good, one session it feels good, and then not. I’m sure we will go and look at things and find things we should have done differently, but with the one [practice] session it’s difficult.<\/p>\n
