Lewis Hamilton is one of the best drivers to have ever stepped foot into F1. He has not been able to challenge for the world title since 2021 for varied reasons, but ahead of 2024, former F1 world champion, Jenson Button has warned him to watch out for Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.

The McLaren duo is the youngest on the modern F1 grid and they showcased themselves well last year. Both Norris and Piastri had quite a few strong moments, especially, during the second leg of the campaign.

Seeing their performances, Button has warned Hamilton and said, as reported by Sky Sports:

I know Lewis, we were teammates for three years, and for George to get as close as he has to Lewis is impressive. But in terms of the young guns at McLaren, super strong. Oscar with a year under his belt, he'll have more consistency going into the 2024 season.

Looking at the reaction of the Brit, it is quite clear that he is backing the prolific McLaren duo to turn several heads during the 2024 F1 season. Moreover, he has also asked Hamilton to look out for them during the season.

Lewis Hamilton has huge expectations of Mercedes

While Jenson Button has asked Lewis Hamilton to have an eye on Norris and Piastri during 2024, he is expecting a much-improved car for the upcoming campaign from the Brackley-based Mercedes F1 team.

Under the current set of F1 regulations, Toto Wolff and Co. have struggled to produce a potent car. But with two years being done under the regulations, Hamilton expects solid results this year.

A lot has already been said about Mercedes’s 2024 chances, and considering this, several eyes will be on them during testing. Lewis Hamilton is desperate to challenge for the coveted F1 world championship again.
