Hamilton Lacks Confidence in His Mercedes Car

Lewis Hamilton mentioned that he lacks confidence in his Mercedes car and feels helpless in the Formula 1 World Championship yesterday, Saturday. He specifically highlighted his struggle with the car's instability during high-speed corners. He said in a press interview, "It might be good in the race, but I won't be excited; I don't feel the car is underneath me, and I don't know what to do about it." The most successful driver in the sport's history, with 103 race victories and seven World Championship titles, gave a disappointing assessment after qualifying in eighth place for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah. The British driver will start from eighth position due to a penalty against Charles Leclerc, the Ferrari driver, who qualified second but will drop ten places. Meanwhile, his Mercedes teammate George Russell will start from third place. Mercedes, which dominated Formula 1 for many years, finished fourth in the season-opening Bahrain race this month, while Red Bull, with reigning champion Max Verstappen and his teammate Sergio Perez, took the win.
