He said, “He is definitely up there as one of the greatest drivers ever. I have no need or desire to deny that. Consistency is his key, and staying on top of his game.

However, the fans want to put this respect to the test without another test on the tracks. Although that is a difficult ask with the obvious shortcomings in Hamilton’s challenger.
Fans desperately want to witness a Lewis Hamilton Vs Max Verstappen round 2 despite the obvious gap
Mercedes has failed to deliver a worthy challenger to Hamilton for the second year running. The Dutchman is driving a much superior car in RB19. However, despite the obvious gap between the two pieces of machinery, the fan wants to witness a repeat of the thrilling action. Hamilton is hungry for it as well, but the W14’s shortcomings won’t let us witness the scenario.
The fans still have hope, however, and want to see them lock horns again before the Brit retires.

The fans are appealing to Mercedes to give Hamilton the tools to compete with Verstappen once again. Can the Brackley outfit make that happen in the current campaign or will we have to wait till 2024?
