Canadian driver Lance Stroll has spoken about Lewis Hamilton. He stated that even though he respects the latter for his titles, he may not win if he is not in a Mercedes car.

Hamilton has won seven world titles, six of them coming with Mercedes. The British driver won his first driver’s championship when he was with McLaren. He soon jumped ship when the Silver Arrows came calling in 2013.

However, Stroll thinks otherwise, stating that if Hamilton will struggle to win if he is in a McLaren Williams. Stroll further states that it’s the nature of the sport- even if Lewis is on the best on the grid, he will find it difficult to compete.

Stroll states Lewis Hamilton won’t win with Mclaren or Williams

The Canadian driver said, “As a world champion, I respect Hamilton, but if you put Lewis Hamilton in a McLaren, he won’t win the race and he’s one of the best drivers on the grid. If he had a Williams, he wouldn’t have won the race.”

Stroll added, “It’s the nature of the sport. While the pilot is in the vehicle, it can make a difference of two or three positions, but cannot climb over the other teams by a second or a half. Maybe the teams will catch up faster than expected.”
