Lewis Hamilton, EIGHT, oops, the SEVEN-time F1 world champion, has been struggling very hard these past years with the incompatible Mercedes cars. With the ban on the turbo hybrid engines, his winning era, too, ended. In 2022, for the first time in his 16 years of F1 career, Hamilton did not win a single race. It was a shame for the entire Mercedes team to secure a solitary win in a season. But with the implementation of the ground floor effects, sadly, the Silver Arrows got no expertise. Now, the situation has become such that people who once used to encourage Lewis Hamilton are now doubting that he will ever be able to break the record of the GOAT Michael Schumacher. And recently, Peter Windsor, an F1 pundit, emerged to claim that the Mercedes superstar might have to end his career as a seven-time world champion.
The loss of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix to Max Verstappen was perhaps the embarkment for the winning era of Red Bull and the fall down of Mercedes. In his live stream of the Youtube channel, Windsor shared the fact that the 2021 Abu Dhabi race would have been an amazing moment for Lewis Hamilton as he was about to secure his eighth title. But the safety car ruined it all.
The crowd rose to their feet, and Mercedes fandom burst into smiles and laughter. Lewis Hamilton, the Mercedes blockbuster, was about to win his eighth title. This is the scenario of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Will this ever happen again? Will Hamilton ever be able to get back to that extent to winning his eighth world title? Peter Windsor doubts it.
Windsor Would Love To See Lewis Hamilton Again In A Situation Like Abu Dhabi GP 2021, But He Is Afraid It Will Never Happen.
“I very much doubt it,” he repeated. However, it does not mean that he doesn’t want this to happen. In fact, he would love to see Hamilton win the eighth world championship. But with apologies, “I doubt it,” he said once again. According to Peter, team whatever is going on inside the Brackley factory, it is not worth winning the championship. Even “if Mercedes have a great car, Hamilton will have to beat Max Verstappen and his teammate George Russell. And also the Ferrari drivers, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.“
Meanwhile, there is absolute proof coming that, YES, Lewis Hamilton, who has claimed seven championship trophies already, will definitely win the eighth one. Windsor himself claims that whatever happened in the Australian Grand Prix 2023, in which Hamilton secured second on the podium, should have happened in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix two years ago.
In Melbourne last week, we saw chaos in the race. There were several safety cars, but at least there was justice, the fair judgment. Windsor said about the audience present in the Albert Park Circuit, “There were not booing. Instead, they were cheering and clapping. And this is nothing but “an ABSOLUTE PROOF” that whatever happened in the battle of the 2021 F1 world championship was wrong.
The Australians loved the safety car, and despite the entertainment show, they were all happy. And this is what should have been in Abu Dhabi on 21.
