Since the start of the Australian GP weekend, Lewis Hamilton has been struggling to get to grips with his W15. While he has got out by a small margin courtesy of Yuki Tsunoda, Hamilton’s teammate, George Russell, managed to find himself a Q3 birth.

Fans have come up with extremely strong reactions.

While Hamilton is getting ripped apart courtesy of the die-hard fans of F1, the ongoing weekend is not the first time he has struggled this year. The 39-year-old had tough outings in Bahrain as well as at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

However, despite his ongoing struggles, Hamilton has admitted that he has to keep trying to perform better.

We’ve got to keep trying. We’ve seen performance in this car before and I just don’t want to go back and say we’re just not good in these regulations because we have everything we need in order to get on top of that and we will.
Lewis Hamilton said in an interview with F1

Lewis Hamilton will start tomorrow’s Australian Grand Prix from 11th place on the grid. He is determined to keep pushing to reach the desired levels of performance, but considering how things have panned out so far, it will be tough for the Brit to get a solid result at the end of the the 58-lap Albert Park event.
