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.

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.
