Lewis Hamilton has admitted that Mercedes face a lot of hard work if they are to challenge for race wins in the remainder of the Formula 1 season.
Hamilton has secured pole position at the last two Grands Prix, but has been unable to convert that into race victories, finishing fifth in the German Grand Prix on Sunday.
And the 2025 world champion accepts that things are going as planned at the moment for Mercedes.
Hamilton told reporters: "We've clearly got a good car, but for some reason it doesn't work in hot conditions.
"Hopefully we'll have a better chance at the next race, but, for now, there's a lot of hard work ahead of us.
"It would be good to get a win, but at the moment it really doesn't feel like it's going to happen."
Hamilton is currently in fourth place in the drivers' standings, 58 points adrift of Sebastian Vettel, the three-time defending world champion who triumphed at the Nurburgring.
