Lewis Hamilton is experiencing a “major career crisis”, it has been claimed.
According to expert F1 analyst Peter Windsor, Lewis Hamilton’s recent troubled interview in Hungary was blamed on Ferrari, sparking doubts about his future in the sport.
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has been facing challenges in his debut season with Ferrari following his switch from Mercedes, culminating in a disappointing performance at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Windsor expressed dismay at Hamilton’s self-criticism and suggested that Ferrari should have handled the situation better to avoid such negative comments from their driver.
The analyst also pointed out that Hamilton’s lingering disappointment from losing the 2021 F1 title due to controversial decisions made by race director Michael Masi and Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff may still be affecting him.
Windsor believes that Hamilton’s struggles trace back to the events in Abu Dhabi 2021, where a mistake in race management led to Max Verstappen winning the championship in a contentious manner.
The ongoing impact of that situation, combined with other factors like car performance and team decisions, has contributed to what Windsor describes as a significant crisis in Lewis Hamilton’s career.
