Lewis Hamilton‘s father asked him not to go Mercedes, leaving the iconic McLaren and so did the whole world. I mean, who would leave McLaren for a team that had just arrived with no history to show? The answer is the man who intended to create history. Lewis Hamilton arrived at Mercedes and then the tides of times shifted in the team’s favor and how. However, with the current slump and also Hamilton’s contract set to expire, can the man move to the rival clan?

Guenther Steiner says no. Red Bull has done everything to give Max Verstappen what he wants and when he wants it. The gamble had paid well for Milton Keynes as they had snubbed a well-performing Daniil Kvyat for Verstappen. However, if Lewis now decides to pack his bags from struggling Mercede,s can he shift bases to dethrone Max Verstappen?

As quoted by Motorsportweek, Guenther has apparently given this a thought. The Italian said, “Where could he go? Honestly, I don’t know. Red Bull have put everything on Max. Max is their man. Why would they now change Max for Lewis?”

Talking about Christian Horner, Steiner said, “When you are the principal or when you’re running a team, you don’t want to entertain you guys,” he continued. “You want to entertain yourself of being World Champion. I’m not doubting Lewis’ capability but I just say, I don’t see it because the people which have the other top three cars are not looking at Lewis.”

As these snubs weren’t enough, Steiner went a step further to highlight Lewis Hamilton’s entitlement.

Lewis Hamilton gets another snub from Guenther Steiner

Lewis Hamilton has more wins in F1 than any other driver ever. Winning became his second nature. He took his first GP win with only six races in and that too in his rookie season. However, the recent trajectory hasn’t been kind to the man and his team, but the Haas team boss says it is not a big deal if the 8x champion cannot go on to become a 9x one.

Steiner said, “Your team can’t always win. It’s human. It’s a competition. Formula 1 is not Formula Mercedes! Mercedes have had eight good years and nothing is forever, as we all know. Being surprised or not agreeing to be beaten is something that I find very strange.”

“You have to pull yourself together and try again. But you can’t expect or demand to be the best because you’ve won eight times, that doesn’t make you win a ninth time.” [translated via Google Translate]
