The start to the season has been very slow for Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes and the complete advantage was taken by their rivals Ferrari and Red Bull. Never in his career has Lewis Hamilton ever been able to win the Championship after giving away such a big lead.

The problems that Mercedes are facing are of great concern and require immediate attention. If things keep on going this way, then Mercedes can say goodbye to the dreams of winning the 9th consecutive Constructors Championship. Ferrari are in hot form and Red Bull has an excellent pace. Thus, Mercedes needs to make the required changes as soon as possible. 

With the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix coming up this Sunday, Mercedes would be looking forward to capitalising on the extra points available and hit the ground running. Hamilton feels that the season is not yet over and he’d prefer to remain optimistic.

In an interview, Lewis Hamilton said, “If you think realistically in terms of the way the sport goes in terms of development, the top teams often develop at a similar pace. Will that be the case with this new car? Who knows. I’m really hopeful we can get in the fight but with every bit of improvement, Ferrari and Red Bull will probably make a similar sort of step so it’s not going to be easy. Yes, the gap is pretty big right now but there is a long way to go,” as per gpfans

Lewis Hamilton would love to bag some points at Imola as there is no margin for error left. Another mistake from Mercedes or Lewis Hamilton’s end could cost them the championship.
