(Motorsports news) Plenty of pundits have hypothesized the reasons for Hamilton’s slip — and Franz Tost has thrown his hat in the ring, too.
Lewis Hamilton’s ‘complex’ modern F1 problem
Plenty of people have pitched their ideas about Lewis Hamilton’s performance slump, suggesting that perhaps the seven-time champion is simply too old, or that he may be too distracted with his other affairs.
But former Formula 1 team boss Franz Tost has a much different idea.
“Hamilton’s example proves how complex Formula 1 has become,” Tost told reporters and journalists in an interview.
“Especially because it’s all about hundredths of a second that can make the difference.”
And those hundredths can quickly stack up, as we saw at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix; in practice, Hamilton was losing tenths to his teammate Charles Leclerc in each sector.
