Lewis Hamilton lacks the technical nous that helped to make Michael Schumacher so successful in Formula 1, according to an engineer who worked with the Briton.
Hamilton and Schumacher are inarguably the two most successful drivers in the history of the sport. They evenly share 14 world championship trophies between them, along with almost 200 race wins and dozens of other records.
Schumacher had difficult periods during his career, and Hamilton is experiencing one of those at the moment as he struggles to get to grips with a temperamental Mercedes car this season. With the Briton 75 points adrift of the championship leader Max Verstappen and being outshone by new team-mate George Russell, one engineer believes his unease is contributing to his struggles.
