Lewis Hamilton fears that his current lead in the championship will not last.
After a stellar month of July which saw Hamilton win four races in five weeks, many have tipped the Briton to win his third consecutive title.
However, unlike team mate and title rival Nico Rosberg, Hamilton is set to take an engine change penalty in one of the next two races.
"I'm conscious that there's going to be at least one more race where I'm further behind and I don't know how much I'm going to be able to limit the damage," said Hamilton. "Now, the Red Bulls have picked up their pace and it might be difficult to get past them, to even get into the top five. I'm conscious of that."
Hamilton said that those fears meant that he did not head into the summer break feeling like a clear championship leader.
"It's still not enough because I'm not a race win ahead yet," said the triple world champion. "I hope I'll be able to get a race win ahead and then I'll feel like I am ahead."
