Lewis Hamilton reveals there were moments in 2023 when he asked himself: “Is it me, or is it the car? Do you still have it? Has it gone?”
The 2023 season was very hard for Mercedes. Unfortunately, the team did not resolve the issues they experienced with their car in 2022, so they continued to struggle throughout 2023 as well.
In a post-season talk with BBC Sport, Lewis Hamilton revealed he had moments where he questioned whether the problem was with him.
“Ultimately, when you have difficult seasons like this, there are always going to be moments when you’re like: ‘Is it me, or is it the car? Do you still have it? Has it gone?’ the Briton said.

“Because you’re missing that, you know… When the magic happens, when everything comes together, the car and you, and that spark, it’s extraordinary. And that’s what you’re in the search for.”
Lewis added that these types of thoughts are completely normal in difficult situations.
“I’m only human. If anyone in the world tells you they don’t have those things, they’re in denial.
“We’re all human beings,” he concluded.
