Anybody thinking Hamilton has unlearned to drive 3 years after 2021 doesn't know what they are talking about.
Its not even that far back. In wet Spa qualy of this year he was quick. 4 tenths on Russell to be precise. All i see are the trolls coming out the woodwork to admit this has been Hamilton level since 2007.
Calling all kinds of critics of a driver as trolls is really uncalled for and a really bad trend. Let me remind that in 2021, Russel out qualified Lewis at the same venue, in a Williams! That car, a backmarker, had no business being there. In wet, wet-dry conditions, the gaps are insignificant. Keeping it on track and getting the job done is more important.
No matter how much people try to defend, it's undeniable that Lewis has aged and he is not going to be beating these young drivers. At this age, adaptability is going to be a massive challenge as cars keep evolving. Lewis cannot do what he used to do in his hay days, hustle the bad cars and get performance out of them. If Ferrari does what Ferrari does, he isn't going to have an easy life at Ferrari either, especially agasint Charles. He is not the first superstar driver to be facing this kind of situation. The longer a driver hangs on, the worse it becomes.
