Lewis Hamilton has ‘glass half-empty’ attitude ahead of Mercedes F1 exit
Lewis Hamilton's lack of form and attitude analysed ahead ꦜof looming Merce🎐des F1 exit.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has adopted a “glass half-empty” attitude to his final races with Mercedes, according to former Haas F1 boss Guenther Steiner.
After scoring just one point acro🧸ss a dismal Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend, seven-time world champion Hamilton was despondent and suggested he would prefer to “take a h♏oliday” than drive his Mercedes for the rest of the 2024 season.
Hamilton, who has just three races left with Mercedes before making a blockbuster switch to Ferrari, could only finish 10th in Brazil while teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell qualified second and came home fourth.
Analysꦚing Hamilton’s current poor form and mood, former Haas team principal Steiner told the podcast: “The car is what it is, it’s not the best caꩲr. It’s the fourth best car at the moment on a good day.
“I think Lewis knowing that he is leaving anyway, it’s easier to complain, while George has 🧜got all the interest to do whatever he can to get the most out of it to show that he is the leader of the team for the future.
“He has to prove that because he knows that his seat when his contract is up is not 10🧸0% safe, so he just tries to do his best and puts everything into it.
“On the o🧔ther side, Lewis doesn’t like the car, how it drives, knows that in three rac♔es he’s not there anymore. It gets at him and I would say he’s not dealing with it very good.”
There have been suggestions that Hamilton’s dip in form could be down to the 39-year-old being frozen out of Mercedes meeting🅺s ahead of his move to rivals Ferrari, but the significance of that was downplayed by Steiner🌺.
“Lewis has so m💟uch experience he doesn’t need to be in these meetingsꦫ,” he explained.
“His engineer is in there anyway because he obviously needs to set the car up. Lewis needs to give the feedback of what he wants on the car 🍸but the car is what it is. I think Lewis is just at that point where he doe💟sn’t like the car and he complains about it.
“He’s the glass half-empty while George sees the glass half-full, or opportuniꦇty. Lewis sees it ‘I’ve got a few more races to go her🍬e, there’s not a lot to be won’.”
