Damon Hill believes Lewis Hamilton can still win his record eighth championship this season despite Mercedes being off the pace of both Red Bull and Ferrari. His Mercedes team are working hard behind the scenes to improve their car as quickly as possible so that they don’t fall too far behind in the title race. Hill, who won the drivers’ championship in 1996, believes it’s too early to rule Hamilton out of winning the title despite his struggles so far. ‘So it’s highly likely that Mercedes could get in the mix.’. ‘I think if he is frustrated, I think he’s showing very little sign of that,’ said Hill.
