Lewis Hamilton expressed his dissatisfaction after losing a position during pit stops at the Monaco GP. Mercedes’ disappointing performance in the ground effect era persists in 2024. Currently, Brackley is in fourth place in the constructors’ championship and it seems unlikely that they will make a comeback in the final stretch of the season. Nevertheless, the team is making efforts to support Hamilton in his last year at Brackley.
During the race, there was a lack of communication on the radio that resulted in Hamilton having a slow lap after the pit stop, causing him to lose time. Before the race, it was mentioned that Mercedes aimed to keep both drivers at an equal level, providing them with the best possible cars and strategies.
Regarding the relationship between the team and Lewis Hamilton, Toto Wolff stated that the team is once again doing their best. Tensions are expected to arise between the two drivers of a team, as each driver strives to score the maximum points.
Once again, George Russell is on track to score more points than Lewis Hamilton, as he did in the 2022 season. Mercedes’ hopes of ending Hamilton’s last season on a high note will soon come to an end. However, Toto Wolff believes that statistics do not tell the whole story of the team.
Wolff stated that there is no specific explanation for Russell scoring more points than Hamilton, but there are still many races ahead. Therefore, there is the possibility of a change in the standings and an interesting scenario at the end of the season if there is a fierce battle between the two drivers.
Lewis Hamilton’s performance in the 2024 season is similar to his performances in the previous season. If the team can replicate his previous success, Mercedes may improve their position in the standings after the summer break. The updates during the Brackley season have proven to be beneficial, and the team continues to strive for a strong end to the season.
