Former F1 driver Marc Surer believes Lewis Hamilton cannot adapt to an underperforming F1 car like Mercedes team-mate George Russell following a poor start to the 2024 season.
Having announced in February that he will join Ferrari next
year, Hamilton has endured a tough start to his final season as a Mercedes
driver after being outpaced by Russell in the first three races in Bahrain,
Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Mercedes’ struggles slumped to a new low last time out in
Melbourne, where the team failed to score a point in a race for the first time
since the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix as both drivers retired.
Hamilton’s pace deficit to Russell has been likened to the
2022 season, where the latter established an early pace advantage amid
Mercedes’ car troubles.
