Hamilton believes his race-day slump from pole position in the HungarianGP showed the 'reality' of where his Mercedes team is at right now.
From then on, Hamilton did not appear to have the pace to fight a recovery – as he got overhauled by Red Bull’sWhile the result was much less than many of his fans would have liked, Hamilton said he was far from despondent, as he had been told on race morning that his car would not be able to take the fight to Verstappen.
“Today [in the race] it's just reality. The reality is we're not fast enough. They already told me at a strategy [meeting] this morning, I would be at least five tenths slower than the Red Bull. So the fight was not with Max, but I was hoping that we could fight the McLarens. But then McLaren was too quick for us also.
