'Very Confusing': Herbert Can't Understand Hamilton's Up And Down Performance

Former F1 driver Johny Herbert suggested he couldn't understand how Lewis Hamilton "shows real raw speed" in one race, "and then it all vanishes."

Mercedes F1 driver Lewis Hamilton has not finished on the podium for seven races in a row, and his average finishing position since the summer break is P7 (excluding the DNF at the 2024 United States Grand Prix).

While Mercedes didn't have a car to compete with the top three teams - Red Bull, McLaren, and Ferrari, the seven-time World Champion was also outperformed by his teammate in equal machinery - George Russell in five out of these last seven Grand Prix races.

Hamilton struggled, especially in the United States and Sao Paulo. In Austin, he got knocked out of Q1 in qualifying and then retired after beaching his car in two laps after the start of the Grand Prix.

In Brazil, the Mercedes driver got knocked out of Q1 again, and after a tough race, he ultimately finished tenth, 50.753 seconds behind the race winner Max Verstappen.
