Lewis Hamilton has been having a challenging season driving the W15 car. He has struggled to achieve impressive results in the first five races and is being outperformed by his rival. This has led to discussions about his poor performance this year.
Nico Rosberg, Hamilton’s former teammate, pointed out the performance difference between Hamilton and George Russell. Russell has been performing better, but Hamilton has not taken responsibility for his performance and instead blamed the car setup.
Rosberg criticized Hamilton for making excuses and not admitting his mistakes. He believes that Hamilton should not be making the same mistakes he has made this year. If this continues, it is possible that Russell will outperform Hamilton for the second time, which would not be good for Hamilton’s reputation as he prepares to join Ferrari.
Hamilton’s experience and expertise are important for the development of the W15 car throughout the season. Mercedes should listen to his ideas to improve the car’s performance, according to Rosberg. However, there may be restrictions on data sharing during the current season if Hamilton’s updates do not lead to significant improvements in the car’s performance.
Mercedes needs to quickly improve its performance to compete with Red Bull and have a chance to win the championship. The team is currently in fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship.
