Lewis Hamilton has been found totally helpless. He thinks that he becomes helpless at various places. It is due to the problems which he has faced during this season. For Sunday’s Russian Grand Prix the top Mercedes driver has qualified 10th. During the previous race in China the driver lost because of engine failure. Nico Rosberg starts the race right from the pole and this has made Nico Rosberg 36 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton. Lewis Hamilton said, “The goal is moving further into the distance and there is nothing I can do”.
Lewis Hamilton said that he is very confident for turning the season to be really great again. He said, “There is still a long way to go,” he said. “Once again, always trying to turn the negatives into positives.
“It is another big challenge and the challenge is becoming great but every challenge is an opportunity to rise. I quite like that approach and idea.
“Even when it seems like it’s the darkest of days, there is always some light there. That is what is going to power me forward for tomorrow.”
Toto Wolff said, “You need to accept that someone who has had multiple situations like this, technical problems, is upset.
“He doesn’t need anyone to build him up. He is very strong. He is going to get over it. He is a fighter and he has been in this situation many times on his life and it will have no effect on him, even though at the moment it is clear he is not in the best of moods.”
On Saturday, Lewis Hamilton said, “I am very curious as to what is going on so I have asked them to give me as much detail as possible because we did 800km a day in testing and the car was faultless and all of a sudden two times in a row the same thing,” he said.
“That doesn’t happen for us. They say we have understood what happened in the last race and I would have thought we would have learned but obviously not and so more work needs to go in.
“We have another engine going in and who’s to know it’s not going to happen on that one? I am just hoping to have a clean first lap and have a car in one piece to be able to fight with people,”
