Hamilton’s “compulsive need to win” is intact, says Mercedes
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has not won a race since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and Mercedes has struggled against Red Bull in F1’s ground effect era. However, Mercedes is confident that their work on the 2024 F1 car has addressed key issues. Mercedes technical director James Allison believes Hamilton is still motivated to succeed despite the tough period he has experienced. Allison also stated that the drivers’ role over the winter is primarily to take care of their physical and mental condition, with the responsibility for improving the car falling on their shoulders once testing begins.
