Can Lewis win his fifth Spanish GP in a row?

Lewis, on the other hand, will be prepping for the Spanish Grand Prix this week. The British driver has won the GP four years in a row, with his latest win being the 2021 season itself. However, this year team Mercedes has struggled immensely with their pace, putting Hamilton at risk of losing. The 37-year-old has shockingly managed just 1 podium in the last 5 races.

Moreover, Hamilton has definitely struggled more with the car. He was knocked out of Q1 at Saudi, struggled to overtake an AlphaTauri at Imola, and even stands behind George Russell, who is notably in his debut season with Mercedes. Currently, Hamilton remains out of contention for an eighth world title.
