Lewis Hamilton gets frustrated when things do not go his way: Ross Brawn

Mercedes - Lewis Hamilton

It is not a regular occurrence to see Lewis Hamilton struggle throughout a race weekend, yet Monaco GP was such place. Having not been able to qualify higher than P7, Hamilton and Mercedes’ poor race strategy helped them do not better on the actual race day. Having managed to secure only 7 points from Monaco GP. 

Not only that Lewis Hamilton might have won more Grand Prix in the 2021 season, but saw Max Verstappen taking his numero uno position in the Driver’s Standings as well. Moreover, his disappointment was quite evident, as he constantly blasted at Mercedes through the team radio during the course of the race.

The F1 managing director is quite confident that Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton will leave the Monaco GP behind and regroup, considering their positive relationship in F1. 

The former British engineer opined that Hamilton hasn’t had such a tough weekend in years, which may have led to the defending champion letting out his frustration.

“Lewis was clearly agitated with the way his weekend was going in Monaco. And that frustration boiled over in the race when he was unhappy with how his strategy was playing out,” he reckoned on F1’s The Ross Brawn Column. 

Ross Brawn added, “He’s a fierce competitor, so it should be expected that he will get frustrated when things don’t go his way. He has rarely had to experience this, so he’s a bit out of practice in handling these things. 

“Yes, he was pretty robust but when he reflects on this weekend, I’m sure he will look at it differently. Mercedes and Lewis have been together for a long time and know each other well. So, they will get over it. It won’t be an issue.” 

The next stop for F1 is at Baku and Mercedes will rise up as the favorites considering their successful past on the circuit.
