Lewis Hamilton recently explained how there are certain aspects of the Mercedes W14 that need to change in order to beat Red Bull next season. Though the car has somewhat evolved after the major upgrade packages from Monaco, the seven-time world champion believes that it still has a long way to go.According to F1.com, Lewis Hamilton said:"There are some elements of the car which do feel different obviously with the upgrade, but it's simply just having a little bit more downforce on the car."He added:“But the characteristics of the car are very, very similar to what we had earlier on in the year and so we need to – for the future, for next year's car – you need to take a lot of these different things off and change them for sure. It's definitely not the car, characteristic-wise, that's going to be able to beat the Red Bull just yet. And so, we've got to work on that."Formula 1@F1Lewis Hamilton on the things that must change at Mercedes for them to catch Red Bull#F1f1.com/HAM_MER_RBR1893117Lewis Hamilton on the things that must change at Mercedes for them to catch Red Bull#F1f1.com/HAM_MER_RBRThis statement was also featured on F1's official Twitter page.

He has mentioned how it is too far forward, to the point where he feels like he is sitting on the front tires while driving. Even after some major upgrades, the same issue continues to bug the Brit. In an interview with Sky Sports, he said:"I don't know if people know, but we sit closer to the front tyres than all the other drivers - our cockpit is too close to the front. When you’re driving, you feel like you’re sitting on the front wheels which is one of the worst feelings to feel when you’re driving a car."Formula Latest@formulalatestLewis Hamilton has said that he is struggling with the seating position of the W14, since they are sitting slightly closer to their front tyres than other teams.
