The Saudi Arabian GP might’ve actually disheartened Lewis Hamilton more than anyone could expect. The British driving treasure had the worst qualifying in several years, and after a tough tussle, lost a hard-earned position due to bad strategy. As Hamilton made his way through the midfield, he was quick to reach the top 10. While people focused on the feisty Ferrari’s and Red Bull’s, Hamilton was sneaking himself to a place in the top 5.

While we have all known how much he has suffered because of the car’s heavy porpoising, Lewis complained as little as he could. The magnificent driver adjusted with everything, however, the W13 has simply not suited him too much. A recent video shows the Briton getting out of the car devastated as onlookers walk past him. Hamilton has consistently looked defeated, despite securing a podium in the last race. His body language spoke tons for him as fans sympathized with their hero. The last season was not the very best for Lewis, who seems to be stuck in this cycle of bad luck now.

<h3><strong>George Russell: 2021 Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
George Russell is a British racing driver. He has been an incredible asset to the historic Williams F1 team alongside his teammate, Nicolas Latifi. The Briton is also a Mercedes junior driver, which has now led him to secure a seat for the 2022 F1 season alongside 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton.

He also got a chance to drive the Mercedes F1 car during the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton missed the race due to Covid-19. Russell almost pulled off a stunning race victory only for the team to mess up the strategy and deny him of it.

Like all other drivers, Russell began his racing career in karting. He first began competing in 2006 and has not looked back since then.

Russell took his first championship, the 2014 BRDC Formula 4 Championship. He fended off challenges from the likes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjun_Maini">Arjun Maini</a> and Raoul Hyman.

A year later, he placed sixth at the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European Championship. But in 2016, he improved his position to 3rd in the championship.

He moved to the GP3 series in 2017 and became a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> and Force India test driver. In the same year, he won the GP3 title from compatriot Jack Aitken.

After a tough couple of seasons, Russell finally broke the point-less streak at the 2021 Hungarian GP, where he secured his first points for the team.
