Since 2020, Lewis Hamilton has not been able to become the Formula 1 world champion, having stayed at seven titles so far – which allows him to equal Michael Schumacher’s record.
In 2021, the championship “slipped through his fingers” in the last round, with the controversial events of that year’s Abu Dhabi GP. Then, in the last two seasons, Red Bull and Max Verstappen have exerted clear dominance.
Mercedes has been progressing and aims to return to the fight for success. Bernie Ecclestone, former leader of F1, spoke about the possibility of Hamilton returning to titles in 2024. Quoted by Sky Deutschland, the British magnate said: ‘I hope he succeeds. Then he would make history’.
