Lewis Hamilton is no longer the top dog at Mercedes, according to commentator Eddie Jordan. It has been an extremely challenging campaign for the F1 seven-time champion thus far, who sits sixth in the drivers standings with just 50 points.
He is in the midst of his worst season since 2009 and any title aspirations the Brit has for this season are in tatters. His new Mercedes teammate George Russell meanwhile, has got off to a very promising start in his first season with the Silver Arrows.
The 24-year-old has finished inside the top 5 in every race so far this campaign, two of those coming on the podium. Hamilton has managed just one podium finish so far, back in Bahrain and that has also marked the only time he has finished above Russell in 2022. This has prompted Jordan to suggest that after Hamilton’s years of dominance, Mercedes now have a new sheriff in town.
