The British driver is continuing to achieve new heights in Formula One even after spending 15 long years in the sport. But he has been struggling this season to put on some eye-catching performances with his W13.

Former F1 racer Marc Surer revealed that the 7-time world champion is struggling more with the 2022 cars because he has not raced in problematic cars much.

The British driver has struggled massively throughout the season with porpoising. Moreover, he has not been able to match the consistent performances of his teammate George Russell this season. Surer gave an explanation why Lewis might be struggling massively in 2022.

“Russell is used to driving fast with a bad car. Lewis is no longer used to that. He has only driven perfect cars for the last few years, he’s spoiled,” said Surer.

But Marc revealed he is not that worried about Hamilton’s performances in the 2022 season. “There is not much missing. There is hardly any difference between the two. And in the race, Hamilton is the benchmark–who always whines on the radio, but on the other hand, always gives everything. That’s why I’m not worried about Lewis,” said Marc.

But it is unusual to see him struggling so much with the car and complaining throughout the race. Let’s see how he bounces back in the European leg of the season starting next week.
