Lewis Hamilton's troubles with Mercedes have been compared with Liverpool's recent struggles for form by Former F1 star turned pundit Martin Brundle.
The British F1 star is looking for his eighth world title ahead of the new season, but his Mercedes car failed to impress in pre-season testing and has now been compared to Jurgen Klopp's side this campaign.
Brundle used the example of Liverpool winning the Champions League and Premier League under Klopp and being unable to replicate that same form this term.

Talking about the challenges facing Mercedes on Sky Sports, Brundle said: "It's odd in a team, look at Liverpool right now for example, with just nuances or a couple of changes of personnel and philosophy or maybe a lack of confidence.
"That's what I'm seeing at Mercedes at the moment. I thought last year they would ace that car really quickly. When we saw it in the paddock a year ago we thought 'nobody is going to see that car for dust' which was wrong.
"Clearly they've still got to finesse it and they needed to do it early. They'll need to get in there quickly and sort it."
