The seven-time Drivers’ champion revealed the discussions with Mercedes as part of Netflix’s Drive to Survive docuseries.
Lewis Hamilton recently disclosed that Mercedes had dismissed his feedback as “wrong” during the team’s struggles in the last two Formula 1 seasons. Despite Mercedes’ ongoing challenges, George Russell managed to secure a victory at the 2022 São Paulo Grand Prix. The team faced difficulties due to an innovative zeropod design concept, leading to issues like excessive porpoising, lack of rear-end stability, and drag with both the W13 and W14 cars. In the latest Drive to Survive series on Netflix, Hamilton can be heard discussing the W14’s problems during a debrief with Mercedes. Initially, the team downplayed Hamilton’s feedback, but later admitted he was right, highlighting a turning point in their collaboration.
