Hamilton struggling after critical Brazil GP: “Sees the glass half empty”

Guenther Steiner claims that a critical Lewis Hamilton is having a hard time at Mercedes and only “perceives the glass as half empty” during the challenges faced by the German team. The seven-time world champion has three races left at Mercedes before making the significant move to Ferrari for the 2025 season in pursuit of a record-setting eighth world title, yet his time at the German team is concluding in a very disheartening manner.

Since becoming part of the team in 2013 after departing from McLaren, Hamilton has secured six of his seven world championships, establishing one of the finest driver and team pairings that Formula 1 has ever witnessed. Nonetheless, after failing to secure his eighth world title in 2021, Mercedes has faced significant challenges in regaining their position at the front, leading Hamilton to switch to the Scuderia for the upcoming season.

In his last season with the German squad, the 39-year-old has achieved two victories, featuring a remarkable triumph at the British Grand Prix. Nonetheless, the last several races have been very disappointing, and at the Brazilian Grand Prix, a Q1 exit added to the misfortune of Hamilton and Mercedes. He succeeded in reaching P10 to secure a point, but at the conclusion of the race, he conveyed over the team radio that it was the worst the car had ever felt in an important message.
