Lewis Hamilton has suffered a tough start to his final season with Mercedes...
F1 legend Mario Andretti says Lewis Hamilton no longer appears “superhuman” following his F1 struggles with Mercedes, comparing his situation to Michael Schumacher’s disappointing spell with the team.
However, Hamilton remains without a race victory since the penultimate round of the 2021 season in Saudi Arabia, with his drought unlikely to end in 2024 after a muted start to the new campaign. Schumacher returned to F1 at the age of 40 in 2010 with the aim of winning an eighth title, but retired three years later having added just a single podium finish to his tally after lagging behind team-mate Nico Rosberg, who would go on to beat Hamilton to the World Championship in 2016., 1978 World Champion Andretti feels Hamilton has been similarly exposed by Russell since the former Williams driver replaced Valtteri Bottas as his team-mate in 2022.
“Russell was fighting every minute with an uncompetitive Williams, when he switched to Mercedes he thought he had arrived in paradise and instead found himself fighting again: he is used to it and so he stays ahead of his team-mate.“Instead he too is human, as happened to Schumacher when after his successes in Ferrari he returned to F1 with Mercedes and the impossible no longer succeeded.
