Lewis Hamilton is considering a substitution

Mika Hakkinen believes Lewis Hamilton take Mercedes’s poor performance this season heavily.

The two-time world champion even flashes the possibility of Hamilton thinking about changing teams.

Häkkinen analyzes the events of the first season with a video from the betting company Unibet. Mersu’s dive away from Ferrari and Red Bull, which dominated the F1 series in recent years, was a major topic of conversation in the video.

Silver Arrow went for a new driver duo this season when Hamilton became his teammate George Russellin. The young compatriot has been in great shape since the beginning of the season, and according to Häkkinen, it could not have failed to influence Hamilton.

– No, Russell will be the second driver in the stable to lose. He does his best to achieve the world championship. He does not bow to Lew at all, Häkkinen analyzes.

After three races, Russell is second in the World Series, fifth in Hamilton. In the previous race in Melbourne, Russell came on the check mark before his seven-time world champion teammate.

– Australia was a tough place for Lewis. Yes, that’s for sure, it’s a clear thing, Häkkinen believes.

Häkkinen, who is also Viaplay’s expert, fears that Mersu’s weak season will hurt Hamilton, who is used to success. For Russell, who is running through his stable for the first time, these rankings are also a leap forward from the Williams years, a clear drop for Hamilton.

– Yes, there’s definitely a face down there. Oh my God, I can imagine that is. There’s a terrible complaint and squeak, Häkkinen paints the spirit of team meetings for Hamilton’s camp.

Hamilton has been driving at Mersu since 2013. Prior to that, his employer was McLaren from 2007 to 2012.

According to Häkkinen, in this situation, a “natural thought for the driver” can hit Hamilton’s head.

– He’s wondering if he should switch elsewhere. It’s a fact. He has been shooting full and championships for years. Now that the “bursts” are starting to come, he wonders what if he went somewhere else, Häkkinen will load.

Hamilton, 37, has a contract with Mersu for next season. Realistic stable options are scarce.

If the British master wanted to change employer, the most viable options would be a return to McLaren or a transfer to Ferrari.

Throughout the history of the sport, the Italian stable has crushed a series of top drivers into its ranks. Always existing driver agreements have not been a slowdown when the stable has longed for a new rescuer.
