Guenther Steiner Accuses Lewis Hamilton of Quitting Mercedes

Former Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner recently critiqued Lewis Hamilton's performance at the Brazilian Grand Prix, where Hamilton finished 10th. His struggles included a poor qualifying result, ending in a crash during Q1 and starting the race from 14th position. Steiner suggested that Hamilton's knowledge of his upcoming departure to Ferrari contributed to a lackadaisical attitude, as he became increasingly vocal about the shortcomings of the Mercedes car. He contrasted Hamilton's perspective with teammate George Russell, who is motivated to secure his future at the team and deliver positive results. Steiner noted that Hamilton's dissatisfaction with the car's handling was evident throughout the weekend, particularly with its rigidity and subpar performance on track. As Hamilton prepares to leave Mercedes, his prior achievements with the team face scrutiny amidst this disappointing season.
