LEWIS HAMILTON won’t be part of a three-way Formula 1 title race next year, claims one team boss. Hamilton, 37, is raring to go ahead of a renewed battle with the likes of Max Verstappen next season. And he even reckons that Hamilton’s own team-mate George Russell, in the very same car, has greater title hopes. Tost, 66, told Speedweek: “Such superiority as shown by Max Verstappen and Red Bull Racing this year is rather rare. AlphaTauri are owned by Red Bull and are an affiliate team of Red Bull Racing. Despite Russell finishing ahead of him, Hamilton recently beat his team-mate to Autosport’s British Driver of the Year award.
