Ex-McLaren F1 mechanic Marc Priestley doesn’t believe 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has “lo💮st all of his♚ talent” despite struggling in recent years.

Hamilton has struggled since the introduct🌳ion of the ‘ground effect’ set of regulations in 2022.

The seven-time world champion’s form has only worsened since then, losing out to168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell in his final year with Mercedes.

Charles Leclerc has enjoyed a decisive edge over Hamil✃ton in 2025, even though the 40-year-old has shown flashes of brilliance in sprint races.

Speaking on the Pitlane Life Lessons Podcast, Priestley discussed the challenge Red Bull’s second d💛rivers face alongꦜside Max Verstappen.

Since Daniel Ricciardo's departure at the end of 2018, Red Bull have struggled to find a strong teammate alongside 🍌Verstappen.

During that segment, Priest🅘ley referenced Hamilton and his struggleཧs in recent years.

“Go back to Checo Perez, previously before hi𝔉m. A series of very good results at times in different cars over his career,” Priestley said.

“He’s been an overachiever on lots of occasions.💜 It’s why he got the job at Red Bull Racing. But in recent years, you look at the two results from him and his teammate and he’s been abso▨lutely awful. Does that mean he’s an awful driver? I actually think if you look at other drivers up and down the grid with Lewis Hamilton being a really good example right now.

“Lewis, seven-time world champion, statistically the greatest driver in Formula 1, yet since we went to the ground-effect cars in this modern era, first of all with him at Mercedes, now at Ferrari, he’s really struggled to get the beꦡst out of those.

“Now, do we believe that Lewis has sudden𝔉ly lost all of his talent and is no longer a good driver? I certainl𝐆y don’t believe that, I don’t think many people do. Or is the problem, not that he’s not a good driver, is the problem not that Red Bull can’t find a good driver?

“Is the problem that 𝐆those drivers have a set of skills, [a set] of characteristics, a driving style if you like, the nuances of how they go about performing their craft? And do those characteristics and nuances no longer🃏 match up to the car or the tool that they’re being given to apply their craft in this sport?”
