Former Formula 1 star Gerhard Berger has laughed at suggestions Lewis Hamilton can win the French Grand Prix - and he even asked Damon Hill if he had been drinking after the Brit picked the Mercedes star to win this weekend.
Mercedes have seemingly improved over the last few races with the W13 no longer suffering from the porpoising phenomenon that threatened to derail their season. It has led to optimism from Hamilton that he can claim a win and continue his run of crossing the checkered line first in each and every season of his career
The best result the Silver Arrows have achieved in 2022 is P3, which Hamilton has claimed four times while teammate George Russell has finished third on three occasions. Mercedes have managed to make it to the podium at each of the last four races, with Hamilton securing three successive P3 finishes.
