Ex-Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg feels Lewis Hamilton will find the same fate he endured against George Russell at Mercedes with Ferrari versus Charles Leclerc.
The seven-time World Champion struggled in qualifying against his Silver Arrows teammate, being out-qualified 19-5, with a disappointing fourth Q1 exit during his final Mercedes qualifying session. Despite this setback, Hamilton demonstrated his Sunday prowess by overtaking Russell on the last lap for fourth place, a familiar sight for the veteran driver. Next season, Hamilton will move to Ferrari where he will face a strong Saturday performer in Leclerc, who holds an impressive record of 26 pole positions. Rosberg suggested that Leclerc may have the edge over Hamilton at Ferrari, similar to how Russell is currently outperforming him. However, Rosberg acknowledged Hamilton’s potential to make a comeback and reassert his dominance as the greatest of all time, with a career boasting seven championships, 105 race wins, 104 pole positions, and 4862.5 points. Despite criticisms of Ferrari’s decision to sign Hamilton given his recent struggles, some believe that a change of scenery could reignite his passion and performance on the track.
