Lewis Hamilton has ruled Formula 1 as its undisputed king for quite some time now. With Mercedes reigning supreme, the 38-year-old built a dynasty with the Silver Arrows. But with the advent of the 2022 regulation reset, the dominating force of the turbo-hybrid era felt short of its goals. Naturally, the new normal has been difficult for the 7x champion to deal with. While he continues to push on for further glory, the somber mood within the Brackley-based factory of the team is sure to take a toll on him.
One thing is clear for sure, Hamilton has his eyes set firmly on that elusive 8th world title. Be that as it may, as things stand, this is a distant dream for the multiple-time champion. Hence, it has now been speculated that Hamilton may have resorted to other means to restore the glories of his past acclaim.

Hamilton has had a lot of detractors in these past couple of years. While they’ve targeted his motivation and mojo, now, a certain ex-Formula 1 driver has come out and claimed Hamilton of resorting to childish maneuvers to get the people back on his side.
According to Ralf Schumacher, “Lewis Hamilton wants attention, you can see that in his outfits,” as quoted by Crash.net. This may come as an outlandish claim at first, however, Schumacher believes that Hamilton has been more proactive in this pursuit ever since he was outclassed by teammate, George Russell during the Miami Grand Prix.
