The failure of Mercedes after the opening 2 stages of F1 2022
If the two drivers of Red Bull did not break the car in the opening stage, it is likely that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell would not have been able to get the 3rd and 4th places. Going to the Saudi GP, Lewis Hamilton also was eliminated in the first qualifying round and could only finish 10th, while teammate George Russell could not create a breakthrough in front of a group of 4 drivers from Ferrari and Red Bull who competed too consistently.
Before the new season, Hamilton once claimed the W13 could not compete for the F1 championship
The problems of Mercedes came from 2 car inspections and now it seems Lewis Hamilton’s claim before the new season that the W13 can’t compete for the championship is true. Hamilton and Russell are undeniably both top-class racers, but if they drive cars that lack power, their chances of winning are also significantly less.
Anyway, the season is still long and the opportunity for Mercedes to turn the situation around is still many. They will have a period from now to early April, before the season returns to the Australian GP.
