After the Monaco GP Qualifying session, Hamilton said about his W13 challenger, “felt horrendous. Horrendous. It feels pretty bad here. Very bumpy for some reason. It’s very hard for us to get below a second of the [Ferrari and Red Bull] guys, it takes a lot of risk.”

Meanwhile, Rosberg also feels that Hamilton is struggling big time this season as the car Mercedes have is not worthy of winning the titles. Moreover, the added pressure from his teammate George Russell is also an important factor.
Rosberg told Sky Sports, “It’s definitely a very tough situation for Lewis. He’s won a race in every season of his career and it looks like maybe this will be the year when he can’t win anymore. You can see how the tension is rising and that’s natural. Lewis will obviously start to show those emotions a little bit.”

“Nevertheless, with the experience he has, I think he will eventually manage to keep those under control. Let’s not forget also Lewis hates ending up behind his teammate. Even if you’re 11th or 13th he really passionately hates coming in behind his team-mate – it makes him very angry and that also happened at Imola in qualifying and the sprint race so it will put the tension up a lot, especially in the engineering room where Lewis will be pushing harder and harder. It will be interesting to watch how that unfolds,” he further added.
Russell is handling the W13 challenger greatly on the track and is the only driver this season who has finished in the top five in every race. It was his time with Williams where he drove an uncompetitive car that is helping him now.
Now six races in the top five! 😃

Hamilton always had a competitive car and he dominated the sports year in and out, so he is not able to cope well with his car. Meanwhile, Russell is in fourth place in the drivers’ standings with 74 points and Hamilton is sixth with 46 points.
