Lewis Hamilton has accumulated a mere 10 points in the current season of the drivers’ championship in 2024.
A former executive in Formula 1 believes that Mercedes and the team are stuck in a never-ending cycle. The team’s inability to address the issues with their 2024 car has resulted in underwhelming performance, which has frustrated the seven-time world champion.
Hamilton, who is in his final year with Mercedes, is facing significant difficulties while driving the W15. The car, which was supposed to be the team’s hope, has turned into a nightmare. Due to ongoing struggles, the British driver has been outperformed by his teammate.
Mark Gallagher, in discussing the dire situation at Mercedes, expressed his belief that Hamilton should not be competing for lower positions in the top 10. The upcoming Chinese Grand Prix will be intriguing to see what kind of car Mercedes will provide Hamilton with at the Shanghai International Circuit.
Despite Hamilton’s struggles with the Mercedes W15, former Ferrari driver Felipe Massa has expressed his excitement about the possibility of seeing Hamilton join Ferrari. The 39-year-old driver will partner with Ferrari next year.
Massa believes it will be fantastic to witness Hamilton representing the red colors of the Maranello-based team.
Hamilton has been associated with Mercedes since 2013, achieving numerous accomplishments during the turbo hybrid era. However, witnessing the difficulties faced by the German team since the end of 2021, he has decided to seek a new challenge. All eyes will be on him during the 2025 season of the sport.
