Lewis Hamilton has endured a difficult start to his final Formula 1 season within the Mercedes organisation – and it could get even worse as the campaign tapers on.
Lewis Hamilton is facing a challenging start to his final season with Mercedes, with no signs of a successful farewell to the legendary driver/team duo in Formula 1 history. Mercedes has been struggling to keep up with Red Bull, reflecting in Hamilton’s lackluster performance in the opening rounds. This season, Hamilton’s best result was a seventh-place finish at Bahrain Grand Prix, his worst start ever. Despite a slight improvement at the Chinese Grand Prix, where he finished second in the sprint race, the overall outlook remains bleak for the seven-time world champion. With ongoing struggles and a potential move to Ferrari next year, the transition to a new team could add further complexity to Hamilton’s already challenging season. As he navigates these uncertainties, it remains to be seen how Hamilton will handle the remainder of his time at Mercedes.
