F1 legend claims Hamilton has ‘serious problems’ and ‘no longer has the hunger’
Since losing the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2021, Lewis Hamilton has been watching Max Verstappen dominate Formula 1, with Mercedes struggling to compete after a regulation overhaul in 2022. Hamilton recently signed a two-year contract extension with Mercedes, stating that he has unfinished business in F1. However, three-time world champion Jackie Stewart doubts Hamilton’s ability to achieve his ambitions, citing a lack of hunger and the car’s decreased performance. Stewart also believes it is unlikely that Hamilton will switch teams, despite rumors linking him to Ferrari. Despite the challenges, Hamilton remains optimistic about Mercedes’ potential for improvement and believes that if he doesn’t win the title next year, it will happen in the following year.
