Mercedes will be left "in the s***" when Lewis Hamilton eventually decides to retire, believes Christian Horner.
The Red Bull boss made the claim in an episode of the new series of Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Series five of the Netflix docu-drama was released worldwide on Friday, giving Formula 1 fans another exciting glimpse behind the scenes of what happened in the paddock during the action-packed 2022 season.
There was no danger of Mercedes losing Hamilton last year, as his current contract runs to the end of this upcoming 2023 season. But the prospect of his absence from the grid was still discussed, by Horner who was blunt about the impact he feels the Brit's retirement will have on the team led by his rival Toto Wolff.
