“He’s now struggling a little bit because he’s had a new teammate who’s been quicker than him in qualifying so far, which is gonna be difficult for him to handle. Lewis is in that group of the Ayrton Sennas and the Alain Prosts or even the Jackie Stewarts maybe.”
“It’s a pity he wasn’t resigning at the top but I don’t think that’s gonna happen now. But nevertheless, it’s wiser to stop than go through all the pain of not being able to do what you did before. He’s carried the sport very well. I would like to see him resigning now,” Stewart concluded.
Moreover, Hamilton has denied the rumors of him retiring from the sport and claimed that quitting is not in his DNA. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton sees himself in the sixth position with 77 points.
