What next for F1's most maligned driver?
Bad luck, bad reliability and bad performances are the core ingredients of a racing driver's cycle of doom. One Formula 1 driver desperately needs to turn things around to stay on the grid
The old adage that you're only as good as your last race applies as equally in Formula 1 as anywhere else, but the capacity to get away with the odd lemon is greatly reduced by the microscopic scrutiny modern grand prix drivers are exposed to.
The very best deliver top-notch performances almost week-in, week-out, with hardly any notable mistakes. For Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Max Verstappen, or Daniel Ricciardo, a below-par F1 weekend is a real anomaly.
