Lewis Hamilton warns Mercedes that Red Bull will be ‘very hard to beat’ this season after falling behind title rival Max Verstappen in disastrous Monaco GP as Brit admits his team ‘CANNOT afford another weekend like this’

Hamilton has dominated the spot for a long period but the 36-year-old fears the tables are turning as Verstappen continues to show improvements this season with a powerful Red Bull car. ‘I told you at the beginning they [Red Bull] have got a championship-winning car, and they’re going to be very hard to beat,’ Hamilton said.
