Lewis Hamilton fears Red Bull F1 could “dominate for the next 3 years”

Lewis Hamilton believes Red Bull's dominant streak in the sport could last for the next three years. While the seven-time world champion has nothing against the Bulls or Max Verstappen, he hopes that the sport continues to have a conversation about dominance.

Hamilton and Mercedes were the dominant force in the sport from 2014-2021, with the Brackley squad winning eight constructors' titles in a row.

The Briton won six titles in this period, with many claiming that the mid-2010s was a boring era in the sport's history. However, that all changed in 2021 when Max Verstappen managed to dethrone the world champion at the end of a highly-controversial season that saw a lot of twists and turns.

While the tide has certainly shifted against Lewis Hamilton and team, the Briton believes that Red Bull might maintain their dominance for the next three years. Lewis Hamilton told Channel 4:

"There is a chance that Red Bull, with the cost cap and the way it’s set up now, they’re so far ahead that they could dominate for the next three years. And maybe for the Verstappen fans that’s enjoyable, and of course for Max it is, but I’m just saying for our sport we definitely need to have the conversation of how we can try and make it better"
