F1 pundit explains why Hamilton may STRUGGLE at Ferrari next year

Davidson: Every driver has their car

It’s a trend that Mercedes simulator driver Anthony Davidson has pointed out, suggesting that it may be an unfixable part of Hamilton’s current form.

"I mean, every driver has their car and their generation where they felt absolutely at one. I certainly did when I was a driver,” said Davidson.

“I can think back to cars I’ve driven, categories I’ve driven where I’ve gone: ‘yeah, that car, that era, that was my car. That’s when I was, it just fitted the way I wanted to drive.’

“And yeah definitely, over the course of a long career, say like Lewis as had or Fernando, they will look back on cars they’ve driven and say: ‘yeah, I felt more at home in that car, not quite as home in that car.’

“I mean, those drivers are incredibly adaptable and to the untrained eye, you would never really notice that, the differences. But there are definite nuances to it.

“I’ve seen many drivers struggle in single seaters and then perform really well in touring cars or sports cars, and vice versa.”
