Lewis Hamilton says he's still adapting to Mercedes W04 but first 2013 win 'will come'

Lewis Hamilton says his quest to consistently get the best out of his 2013 car remains an ongoing process seven months into life at Mercedes, with the Briton admitting he needs to show "patience" while he waits for his first win for his new team.

Hamilton is the only driver currently on the grid who has won at least one grand prix in every season in which he has raced in F1 to date, with the Briton's lowest season tally standing at two from 2009. Having yet to win in his first nine races for Mercedes, Hamilton has ten attempts left to prolong that impressive record but insists he isn't getting uptight over his victory drought. "This is a mental game as you know and you've just got to hold it together," the 21-times race winner told Martin. "There's 11 races [now ten after Sunday] to go. I know that I have a car that I can compete with these guys and we have more and more developments coming through, so I know we're there or thereabouts and I feel that I just have to bide my time and be patient because I feel it will come at some stage."
