Seven time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton vowed 'maximum attack' to the end of the season on Wednesday as Mercedes seeks to end a winless streak and take second place from Ferrari in the constructors' standings.

Runaway leader Red Bull and reigning champion Max Verstappen are set to win their respective titles, but the battle for the runner-up slot, and some bragging rights as best of the rest, looks open.

Ferrari, which started 2022 with the fastest car and has taken 10 poles from 16 races, is only 35 points clear of Mercedes — which has yet to win this year — with six rounds remaining.
