Lewis Hamilton believes helping Mercedes to recover from its slump would enhance his Formula 1 legacy more than a move
Since joining Mercedes in 2013, Lewis Hamilton has broken numerous records, won multiple championships, and equaled Michael Schumacher’s record of seven titles. However, Mercedes has been struggling recently, with Red Bull becoming the dominant force in Formula 1. Hamilton’s father even explored the possibility of him joining Red Bull, but Hamilton, committed to Mercedes until 2025, is more interested in turning the team’s fortunes around than switching teams. While he acknowledges the appeal of driving the Red Bull car and winning races, Hamilton believes that beating Red Bull with Mercedes would be a more satisfying achievement and better for his legacy. He values the experience of helping a less successful team grow and succeed, rather than simply driving the fastest car on the grid.
