Despite huge expectations, Lewis Hamilton failed to deliver for the second season in a row. While most of the blame is to be given to the relatively slow W-14, the British driver is still hopeful. As Hamilton manifests an “amazing week” amid the jeopardy, he shared the message on his social media.
Taking to his Instagram account, the seven-time world champion has conveyed, “This is going to be an amazing week! Start it off with the right attitude, and speak it into existence. Sending you positivity. Let’s f go!!!”
Despite having the roughest time of his career, the British driver is full of hope and positivity. As the upcoming Azerbaijan Grand Prix is just around the corner, he manifests a positive outcome.
With James Allison back in his position, and George Russell and Toto Wolff pointing in the right direction, the table might turn for the Brackley-based team and Lewis Hamilton, of course.
Hamilton urged to leave Mercedes
In the latest development, Eddie Jordan has urged Hamilton to quit Mercedes. The former F1 team boss is believed to have said this since the British driver is in search of his eighth world championship, and Mercedes isn’t the right team to help him at the moment.
Jordan believes Ferrari is the right team for the Mercedes maestro, as Red Bull is out of the question because of Max Verstappen. However, in reality, the Prancing Horse is on the same page as the Silver Arrows.
10 years since Lewis’ first start for the Team in Melbourne, we’re heading back to Australia. 💛
142 podiums, 82 wins, 77 poles and six titles later…

The 38-year-old’s contract with the German team expires at the end of the 2023 F1 season. So far there isn’t any report that says the seven-time world champion extended his stay on the team.
Hamilton surpassed the unwanted Max Verstappen record
The former McLaren driver has recently surpassed an unwanted record. A record that hardly any driver wants. Apparently, Hamilton broke Max Verstappen’s record for longest win drought.
Earlier, the Dutchman had 502 days of no F1 race win. Now that has been surpassed by the British driver who’s currently in 504 days.
Lewis Hamilton’s last win has come in Saudi Arabia back in 2021. This was when he overcame the stiff resistance from the Red Bull driver and won the inaugural Jeddah Corniche Circuit race.
