Sir Jackie Stewart believes Lewis Hamilton holds upper hand in Mercedes – Formula 1 news
Former Formula 1 driver, Sir Jackie Stewart has said that Lewis Hamilton holds upper hand over his teammate, Nico Rosberg in Mercedes because he has a better record
in the sport.
Hamilton has been considered as one of the most talented drivers in F1. He has delivered some remarkable performances in his career so far. The Briton has scored
many race victories and has even claimed a championship. On the other hand, Rosberg has won only one race until now which he scored in the 2012 Chinese Grand Prix after securing his first ever pole position.
Therefore, Stewart believes that the 2008 world champion has surely got an upper hand over the German driver in the Silver Arrows.
“There's no question that Lewis holds the upper hand because he's had more success - he's had more race wins and a championship,” Stewart told BBC Sport. “He's
also started the season well. Nico has won a race (in China last season), but he has yet to follow that up.”
Besides, he said that the Brackley based squad will definitely look forward to take care of Hamilton who has joined them in this season after spending a long time
at one of the most competitive teams in world of F1.
“Mercedes have got themselves a very expensive driver and they'll want him to do well. They've got the people who Lewis feels will be good for the team. Paddy Lowe
is coming from McLaren and I'm sure part of the reason is because Lewis is there,” he added.
In addition, he said that the 28-year-old will surely attain good results in the forthcoming races of this season.
The British driver has delivered magnificent performances in the first two grands prix of this season. In the season opener, he came fifth after setting off from
third grid slot. Later, in the Malaysian GP, he secured an incredible third podium finish after taking a start from fourth grid position.
It will be thrilling to see how he shows up in the next race which is going to be held at Shanghai International Circuit in China on April 14, 2013.
