It has been an atypical 2022 for Mercedes. and especially for lewis hamilton. The seven-time Formula 1 champion has not been able to savor any victory. Yes, his companion in the silver arrows, George Russell. But that situation could turn around for next season.
He believes so, nothing more and nothing less, than Marko Helmut, Red Bull adviser. In an interview with ‘Bild’, he predicted what the coming season at the Gran Circo will be like: “Ferrari is strong, but Mercedes will be even more so in general terms, especially with Lewis, who He’s still a top-level driver.”
“I get the feeling that will win races again in 2023. Of course, I am not too concerned with them, we are in a good position. Also, with Max, we have the best driver on the grid,” he said.
The wind tunnel could be key: “Mercedes has made a lot of progress all year and although they are not yet at our level, they have more wind tunnel time to develop their car.”
Regarding Ferrari, he states that charles leclerc “He still makes some mistakes” to be in the fight: “Ferrari also has a very good driver in Leclerc, but he still keeps making some mistakes.”
Everyone hopes that Mercedes and Ferrari can embarrass max verstappen. The two-time champion will once again be the top favorite and will look for a rival that this season has not had much less. Leclerc only held out for half a year… and then he deflated.
