LEWIS HAMILTON is more likely to walk away from Formula One than look for another team amid his Mercedes woes, according to former driver Anthony Davidson.
And Davidson, who worked with Hamilton as a simulator driver for Mercedes, believes they are the one team on the grid that can turn around their struggles to make them a force to be reckoned with again this season.
Hamilton vented his frustration at the last race, the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, admitting he did not feel comfortable in the car as he finished fifth, a place behind team-mate George Russell. It led to questions about his future and either looking for a drive elsewhere or walking away from the sport.
But Davidson, speaking ahead of Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix, said: “I’d be very surprised if he joined another team. He’s been with Mercedes since his karting days. He’d be getting to that age where he’d be thinking about an exit plan and what to do with the rest of his life. He could be a Mercedes ambassador for all time.
