Hamilton is showing glimpses of his best form 💞in over a year, since his reign on top of F𝄹1 was ended by Max Verstappen.

Hamilton was then outperformed by teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell last year but, ahead of this weekend’s F1 I💙talian Grand Prix, he penned a new Mercedes deal to intrigue fans.

“It took Lewis over a year t♚o get over Abu Dhabi 2021,” Martin Brundle sai♏d.

“And aಞlso, things just weren’t fꦬalling for him particularly well.

“I think George has been through a difficult time where it hasn’t paid off🃏 fo🌃r him, as such. 

“But you have to say at the moment - Lewis has the upper hand in that duo, in terms of the resಞults and the speed that he’s showing. But they are so close, those two.”

Naomi Schiff agreed: “No driver likes to be b꧙eaten by their team-mate. But last year, I don’t think that was on the top of Lewis’ mind.

“They both came into that season psychologically in very d꧃ifferent places. Lewis coming from Abu Dhabi 2021 and George just coming out of the Williams into the big team. 

“Totally different emotions and cജoming into a difficult car. As well, to not be able to get that title back.

“It was difficult for Lewis las𒀰t year, but he’s back.”

Mercedes have tied Hami𝓡lton and Russell do🧜wn until the end of 2025 at least.

Brundle reacted: “The continuity that you have, and the understanding of your drivers and the way they 👍work, what they like in the car and out of the car, it just makes an awful lot of sense for them to settle that down.

“And it ཧis a great combo, those two drivers, 🏅no doubt about it. 

“The whole team settles at that point as well. It’s nice and early and they know exactly where they’re heading next ♌year.”
