F1 pundit Martin Brundle has compared the struggles of Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes to that of Liverpool FC in the Premier League.
Hamilton looked untouchable as he won four consecutive F1 championships between 2017 and 2020. However, after controversially losing out to Max Verstappen in 2021 last year the Mercedes W13 struggled to match the pace of rivals Red Bull and Ferrari.
Brundle has matched the worrying decline of Mercedes to that of Liverpool, who won the Premier League in 2020 and also finished runners-up last season. However, Jurgen Klopp's side have struggled this season and currently sit seventh - 21 points behind leaders Arsenal.
