Lewis Hamilton on Mercedes future at F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: “I’m no quitter - but it’s not giving me a lot…”
Hamilton finished fifth at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, behind teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell who was third, but trailing the Red Bulls.
The seven-time F1 champion has delivered a blunt admission that his i♕nability to extract performance from his Mercedes, for the second year in a row, is hamperin🙈g his enjoyment.
“I love this team and I’m so grateful for🦋 everyoneꦏ that’s been on the journey with me,” he said.
“I don’t 𓃲envisage being anywhere else. I don’t see myself quitting, I don’t feel like I’m a quitter.
“Bꦡut I wouldn’t say that it’s giving me a lot. I have been there, done that, got the T-shirt, many times.
🌌“I am trying to be patient and work with the te♎am to get us to a good place.
“I’m not planning on going anywhere else but I couldn’t get an✃y more out of the car today. I’ve got to keep trying.”
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff had previously given the honest assessment that Hamilton must look else🌺where if his team can’t deliver a winning car soon. The driver's contract expires at the en꧃d of this season and, although he claimed a new deal was inevitable during the winter, it remains unsigned amid his team's problems.
Hamilton, now 38, has claimed he will race on until capturing♕ an eighth title, which would be an all-time record, but after only one race in 2023 it already appears impossible to compete with the 📖Red Bulls.
