Lewis Hamilton believes a win is possible this season

In what is a further testimony of the Mercedes driver having such a sense of belief in himself and his team's ability, he believes he can win a race this season. After admitting that earlier in the season, it did not seem possible, Hamilton conceded that the recent performance did give him confidence that the team can turn it around.

"[It's] definitely [been] hugely encouraging. Particularly [because] for a long, long time, we would make changes and not see it do what [we thought] it was going to do or improve the car. It was a good step in Barcelona, but then we had several difficult races following it."

"Then we just had these last [few] races which were quite strong, and that's really encouraged us that we're moving in the right direction, that there really is potential in the car. With a little bit more digging, a little bit more hard work, hopefully we can get a bit closer to having a chance of winning a race. So I truly believe we can get a race win this year."

It's always heartening to see when sports can inspire people. This has to be one of those moments for sure.
