Lewis Hamilton struggling to win this season
Lewis Hamilton is one of the most successful drivers in Formula 1. Along with seven World Championships so far, the Briton has also ensured to win at least one race during the course of a season ever since his debut. However, this season has been taking violent turns for him.
With the Mercedes W13 being really slow on straights at the start of the season, Hamilton struggled to battle even for the podium places during races. While his teammate George Russell outperformed him during the first half of the season, he struggled with the car.
With the development of the car through the season, they have secured the third place in the constructor's standings. However, they are still not fast enough to win this season against the Red Bull RB18. The US Grand Prix saw Hamilton lead the race, but Max Verstappen soon chased him down and he had to settle for P2.
This might turn out to be Lewis Hamilton's first ever season without a win if Verstappen's dominance keeps pushing him out of the lead.
