The invisible enemy that’s made Hamilton’s title charge tougher

After winning his past few Formula 1 titles at a canter, Lewis Hamilton currently trails Max Verstappen by eight points heading into the final double-header of 2021. Although Red Bull has been his biggest on-track challenge, Hamilton feels that he has just as much to grapple with away from the circuit

Lewis Hamilton has seen it all before when it comes to coping with the pressures of a Formula 1 championship battle. From the intra-team rivalries with Fernando Alonso and Nico Rosberg, to facing off against the best that Red Bull and Ferrari can throw at him, the fight he is experiencing this year against Max Verstappen is not anything out of the ordinary.

Like he’s done so many times in the past, Hamilton's charge has centred on knuckling down with the team to help perfect the machinery underneath him; and then make sure on Sunday afternoon he is flawless.
