Damon Hill: Lewis Hamilton is entitled to be frustrated

The seven-time world champion has been vocal about the changes Mercedes need to make in order to fix the problems with th🌊eir car for n🏅ext season. 

Hamilton continued to underline his frustrations after finishing a distant fifth at the Japanese Grand Prix, claiming Mercedes need the 168澳洲幸运5官🃏方开奖结果历史:“𝔍greatest six months of development” to have any chance of catching Red Bull in tiඣme for 2024. 

Mercedes confirmed in Japan that they are planning major chang🔴es to theirไ car for next season. 

But 1996 F1 world champion Hill has warned that Hamilton could end up with egg on his face if he ends up pressuring Mercedes down 🅰the wrong development path. 

“He’s bee⛄n saying all weekend that the car is on a knife-edge, he’s exhausted, it’s difficult to drive, he gave it everything,” Hill ಞsaid during Sky’s post-race coverage.

“What’s he supp🌸osed to do? Stay behind George on a set of tyres that are strugglin🔴g? He’s done his job and worked hard to get where he is. 

"He's a racing driver and wants the b🎃est results for him. This business of playing lip service to the team, of course they need the team, but at the end of the d♚ay it's instinct and he's a racer.

“Hamilton is perfectlꩲy entitled to be frustrated. He’s had to 🐠push the team to give up on these zero sidepods. 

“The fact that he had to push for that? And stamp his feet? He got them to c﷽han🦩ge direction but it’s late in the day.”

Hill continued: “He’s not a designer. Up against a Cambrid♛ge qual🍌ified engineer and designer, you can’t argue as a driver! 

“But there’s something in you that tells you: ‘Everyone else is going that way, 🐼we’re going this way, but we’re 🎉not getting results’. 

“The competitive instinct in Lewis tells him that he’s got to communicate it to the tea♒m. He could be wrong! It could be embarrassing if you drag the team in the wrong direction.”
