Lewis Hamilton could "do a Michael Schumacher" amid Mercedes' 2023 F1 woes

F1 pundit Martin Brundle has suggested Lewis Hamilton may take a page out of fellow icon Michael Schumacher's playbook amid his Mercedes woes.

The seven-time world champion endured a tough 2022 campaign with the Silver Arrows and this season has not started as he would have liked. A fifth-place finish at the Bahrain GP - 51 seconds behind race winner Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso in his Aston Martin - left a sour taste in the mouth of the 38-year-old.

Given his team’s unsatisfactory start to the year and a title challenge in the near future looking unlikely, Brundle mused on the possibility of Hamilton copying a move Schumacher made during his illustrious career. The legendary German famously left Benetton for Ferrari in 1996 and played a pivotal role in building the Prancing Horses’ successful formula which enabled them to dominate F1 in the 2000s, which included six world titles for the driving legend.
