Lewis Hamilton expressed his amazement at witnessing Ferrari and McLaren surpass Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship. This comes as he prepares to join the Italian team. Initially, Red Bull seemed poised for another successful season, with Max Verstappen winning seven of the first ten races. His teammate, Sergio Perez, also secured four podium finishes.

However, Red Bull faced challenges mid-season. Verstappen did not win any of the next ten races until his impressive performance in wet conditions at the Brazilian Grand Prix. Despite this win, Verstappen is close to securing a fourth world championship. His title rival, Lando Norris, finished sixth in Interlagos, leaving him 62 points behind in the standings.

As the season nears its end with three races remaining, Red Bull is third in the Constructors' Championship. They trail leaders McLaren by 44 points and are 13 points behind Ferrari. The competition among these teams is fierce as they vie for supremacy.

Before Verstappen's triumph in Brazil, Ferrari had secured consecutive victories in the United States and Mexico. Charles Leclerc won in Austin, marking his eighth victory in the competition. Carlos Sainz followed up with a win at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez.

Sainz will move to Williams next season as Hamilton joins Ferrari. Hamilton is optimistic about competing for an eighth world championship next year due to Ferrari's recent performances on track. "I'm very interested in my future," said Hamilton.

He added that he closely monitors developments within teams and their cars. "Watching everything that happens," he noted how McLaren and Ferrari have progressed recently. He emphasised observing changes teams make to their cars.

Hamilton explained that drivers watch onboard laps to identify areas for improvement. He mentioned how different cars react uniquely under various conditions and how drivers strive to optimise their balance or encourage team development.

The ongoing battle between McLaren, Ferrari, and Red Bull adds excitement to this season's conclusion. As these teams compete fiercely for Constructors' glory, fans eagerly anticipate who will emerge victorious.
