刘易斯·汉密尔顿承认，他原本不相信红牛车队能制造出比梅赛德斯或法拉利更好的引擎。但车队与福特的合作制造出了国际汽联认定的基准内燃机后，汉密尔顿表示，车队‘证明了一切人的错误’
红牛的引擎今年首次亮相，马克斯·维斯塔潘已经在这套引擎的推动下赢得了巴林和新加坡大奖赛。
当被问及是否同意伊萨克·哈德贾的观点，即法拉利而不是红牛在新加坡拥有最快的赛车时，汉密尔顿对这位年轻车手表现得非常得体。
“首先，我认为伊萨克是一位了不起的车手。我们在这里有不同的看法。最终，他们做得非常出色。红牛已经做了很多年的出色工作。他们不断地让我感到惊讶，我在很多年前，当我年轻的时候，就举起了我的手。
“我想，他们不可能像拥有如此悠久历史的其他车队，比如拥有悠久历史的迈凯轮、法拉利那样做到这一点，但他们做到了，他们证明了我错了，而且他们在过去几年里一直保持着出色的成功。
“但是这个（引擎），我觉得没有人能够比得上梅赛德斯，比如，或者法拉利，他们凭借他们拥有的资源、经验和知识产权所能做到的更好的引擎。”
“然而，他们又一次证明了我们错了，所有人都错了，他们又造出了最好的引擎。”
“七届世界冠军补充说，红牛车队已经从今年年初的困难局面中恢复过来。”
“马克斯·维斯塔潘，红牛车队，伊萨克·哈吉亚，红牛车队”
“显然，他们有一个小小的颠簸开始，但就像你去年看到的那样，他们有一辆惊人的赛车，他们有伟大的车手，显然有伟大的领导力，我认为他们将非常非常难以...他们在所有弯道上的速度和我们一样快，这是我们一直以来的优势，所以他们现在在弯道上和我们持平，而且他们在直道上快了三到四十分之一。”
红牛决定在本田最初决定离开F1后建立自己的引擎，在米尔顿凯恩斯设立红牛动力系统，并将福特作为新规则下的合作伙伴引入。
他们的进步是以经验丰富的竞争对手为代价的。汉密尔顿的评论与迈凯轮的奥斯卡·皮亚斯特里的评论相呼应，皮亚斯特里在早些时候的练习中说红牛在过去几周成为了“最一致快速的车”。
红牛在 constructors’ championship 的第三名争夺战中落后于迈凯轮七分，维斯塔潘正在追逐连续第三场胜利。这位荷兰人在FP1中排在查尔斯·勒克莱尔之后，以第二快的速度结束。

Lewis Hamilton admits Red Bull achieved what he thought was impossible
The seven-time world champion admits he underestimated Red Bull's capabilities as the team continues to close the gap this year
For Ferrari fans. The latest Scuderia Ferrari F1 news, driver updates, technical analysis and race reaction from Maranello and beyond.
Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he didn't believe Red Bull could ever build a better engine than Mercedes or Ferrari. But after the team's partnership with Ford built what the FIA has identified as the benchmark internal combustion engine, Hamilton says the team has "proved everybody wrong".
Red Bull's power unit made its debut this year and Max Verstappen has already won both the Bahrain and Singapore Grands Prix under its power.
Asked whether he agreed with Isack Hadjar's view that Ferrari, not Red Bull, had the fastest car in Singapore, Hamilton was diplomatic with the young driver.
“Well, firstly, I think Isack is an amazing driver. We’re going to have different opinions there. Ultimately, they’ve done an amazing job. Red Bull have done an amazing job for many, many years. They continuously surprise me, and I put my hand up many, many years ago when I was younger.
"I was like, there’s no way they’re going to be able to do what these other teams like McLaren with all that heritage, Ferrari with all that heritage, but they have, and they proved me wrong, and they’ve continued to have amazing success over the years.
"But this one is where the engine, I was like, there’s no way that anyone’s going to be able to build a better engine than what Mercedes, for example, or Ferrari are capable of doing with the resources they have and the experience they have and the IP.
"And yet again, they proved us wrong, everybody wrong again, and they built the best engine.”
The seven-time world champion added that Red Bull had recovered from a difficult start to the year.

“Obviously, they had a little bit of a wobbly start, but like you saw last year, they’ve got an amazing car, they’ve got great drivers, clearly got great leadership, and I think they will be very, very hard to... they’re just as quick through all the corners as us in the last race, and that’s been our strength, so they’ve matched us now through the corners, and they’re three, four tenths quicker down the straights.”
Red Bull decided to build its own engines after Honda’s original decision to leave F1, setting up Red Bull Powertrains in Milton Keynes and bringing in Ford as a partner for the new regulations.
Its progress has come at the expense of rivals with far more experience of building F1 engines. Hamilton’s comments mirror those of McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who said in an earlier session that Red Bull had become “the most consistently quick car” over the last few weeks.
Red Bull heads into the weekend seven points behind McLaren in the fight for third in the constructors’ championship, with Verstappen chasing a third straight win. The Dutchman finished second-fastest in FP1 behind Charles Leclerc.
