Lewis Hamilton, Pessimistic In Japan: “We Won’t Win”

2 years ago By Sports Desk

In a surprising turn of events at the Japanese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, made headlines for his unusually pessimistic comments regarding his team’s performance. As he walked through the bustling paddock at the iconic Suzuka Circuit, Hamilton spoke candidly to the media, revealing his doubts about Mercedes’ chances of victory.

“It’s going to be a tough weekend for us,” Hamilton began, a sense of resignation in his voice. “Honestly, I don’t think we’ll win this race. We’re facing some major challenges with the car, and it’s going to be an uphill battle.”

Hamilton’s uncharacteristic pessimism sent shockwaves through the paddock, where fans and pundits alike had grown accustomed to seeing the Mercedes driver as a perpetual contender for victory. His comments raised questions about the team’s struggles and his mindset heading into the race weekend.

Doubts According To Him

The British driver cited several factors contributing to his doubts, including the unpredictable tire degradation at Suzuka. “There seems to be a huge amount of tire degradation. Suzuka is one of the best tracks in the world to drive, but this year it feels as if the Tarmac has really broken up, and the cars are sliding on the surface. So it’s giving a bit of a strange feeling to all the drivers, and that is contributing to the tire degradation,” he explained.

While, Tire management has been a recurring issue for Mercedes this season, with the team often struggling to maintain the performance of their rubber over race distances. Suzuka’s unique demands, including high-speed corners and elevation changes, only exacerbate these challenges.
