'A beverage manufacturer'? Hamilton admits Red Bull proved him wrong

Lewis Hamilton was driving for McLaren at the time. He had doubts about Red Bull's future in Formula One. Red Bulls won the drivers' and constructors' titles in 2011 with Sebastian Vettel. Max Verstappen and RedBull are on course to win both this season.

Hamilton is full of praise for Red Bull. He believes the team has improved its cars and improved their aerodynamic balance. Hamilton believes Adrian Newey's design is impressive. Hamilton won his first championship in a car designed by Newyse. The seven-time world champion believes that the youngsters in his team will help him.

Hamilton believes Red Bull will dominate the next few years. He thinks Ferrari and Mercedes F1 can prevent that from happening. Hamilton has won the last eight world titles. He has no doubt that Red Bulls are capable of it. The gap they have now will be difficult for anyone from third to last in the cycle of car design.
