The first two races of the new season showed that the Mercedes team still has a lot of work to do on the car before drivers Lewis Hamilton and George Russell can compete for places on the podium. Former Formula 1 team owner Eddie Jordan believes that Lewis Hamilton is not happy with this turn of events.
Eddie Jordan: “Let’s look at the situation logically. Four weeks ago we thought McLaren had an ace up their sleeve and had a good chance, but it turns out they are not in the same league as Red Bull. As for Mercedes, they are in a difficult situation.
It is necessary to give credit to one team: Ferrari and Frederic Vasseur. I’m sure he can’t wait to have Lewis in his squad.
I think Lewis is depressed about Mercedes’ current form. They started the season poorly and now it will be difficult for them to overtake their opponents. If someone has already earned 51 points after two races, like Max Verstappen, it is downright ridiculous to think that anyone can still overtake him.
How will Mercedes combat their rivals? I don’t see anyone other than Ferrari who can seriously challenge Red Bull.”
