Will Lewis Hamilton be able to finish off his Formula 1 career with an eighth World Championship? A former F1 driver and race winner believes the dream is fading.
According to former Formula 1 driver Eddie Irvine, he believes that Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes’ dominance era is now over and does not expect Hamilton to win an eighth title. Hamilton has not won a race since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, and Mercedes has only had one victory in the past two years. Irvine thinks it will be challenging for Mercedes to replicate their previous success, especially with Max Verstappen performing exceptionally well for Red Bull. Hamilton’s future in F1 beyond his current contract length will depend on how competitive Mercedes will be in 2024. Despite this, Irvine acknowledges that Hamilton is still a very talented driver.
