Lewis Hamilton hits back at a claim made by a former Mercedes F1 engineer.
Former Mercedes engineer Phillip Brandle identified what he believes to be the seven-time world champion’s biggest weakness in a recent interview with German outlet Motorsport-Total.
“But if he has the feeling that the car isn’t running well, that he somehow has no chance of winning the race, then unfortunately he lets himself go a bit, which is a shame.Hamilton responded to Brandle’s comments ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, insisting he has been “working my butt off all year” in his attempts to get to grips with Mercedes’ tricky W15 challenger.“I’ve definitely struggled during the year.
“And as the car’s progressing, I’m becoming more and more at one with it, and now the results are starting to come, which is a great feeling.”
