The seven-time world champion suggested Red Bull have been able to get a head start on next season\u2019s car since August thanks to their dominance in 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 2023 season was dominated by Verstappen. He began with victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix and never relented, winning 19 of 22 races &#8211; an F1 record.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Verstappen sealed his third straight Drivers\u2019 Championship. The three-time world champion has dominated F1 in recent years, and he has become the face of the sport thanks to the success experienced by Red Bull.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Abu Dhabi was no different; Verstappen controlled the race to win over Ferrari\u2019s Charles Leclerc,\u00a0while Mercedes\u2019s George Russell completed the podium following a Sergio Perez penalty. The points ensured Mercedes sealed the runner-up spot in the constructors\u2019 championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Follow us on X<\/i><\/b>\u00a0<b><i>for the best and latest in sports news<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/5091180.jpg?r=1701261030046\"><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Russell\u2019s teammate Hamilton finished ninth after starting 11th. He limped home having lost the rear of the W14 on the final lap as he jostled with Yuki Tsunoda, and the Brit &#8211; who last won a race at the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix &#8211; appeared downbeat at the prospect of overhauling Red Bull next season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his mood following the race at Yas Marina Circuit, Hamilton told Sky Sports: \u201cNot great. I just finished ninth; two really bad races [seventh in Las Vegas]. Red Bull won by 17 seconds and have not touched the car since August. So, you can pretty much guess where they&#8217;re going to be next year\u2026 I was just slow throughout the race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is widely known that Red Bull switched their attention to developing its 2024 car as it became apparent they were to once again win both the Drivers\u2019 and Constructors\u2019 Championships this season. Hamilton is undoubtedly worried there is too much ground for Mercedes to make up on their rivals before the season-opener in Bahrain in March 2024.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/73\/590x\/secondary\/5091182.jpg?r=1701261030100\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Red Bull] haven&#8217;t even developed their car since August,\u201d Hamilton added. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely a concern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we&#8217;ve learned a lot about the car and it&#8217;s just down to the team now and they know what they need to do.
