After finishing third in the Drivers’ Championship, you could probably consider this to be a successful year for Lewis Hamilton. But a former F1 driver does not believe he will be satisfied.
According to former F1 driver Karen Chandhok, Lewis Hamilton had a strong and vintage 2023 season, finishing third in the Drivers’ Championship. Despite struggling in 2022 with the troubled W13 car, Hamilton improved and secured his first pole since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at Hungary. Chandhok highlighted Hamilton’s great performances in Mexico and Spain, where he had strong runs to the podium. However, there were also some races like Qatar, Miami, and the last three weekends where he didn’t perform as well. Hamilton had a chance to take second place in the championship, but Sergio Perez sealed the one-two for Red Bull in Brazil. Chandhok believes Hamilton doesn’t care too much about the overall result and that the biggest question for next season is what Mercedes will deliver for the drivers, as they have the best driver lineup in F1.
