On March 28, Beijing time, the Saudi Arabia race was Hamilton's 180th game for Meben. He overtook Michael Schumacher as the most appearances for a single team in F1.
However, on this record night, Lewis couldn't laugh. From 16th to 10th in qualifying, it looks like he surpassed a lot of drivers. But it is still a big gap from the top 5.
For the first time, Hamilton admits that the car is far from the top cars of current F1.
Last season, Meben and Red Bull Racing competed for supremacy. This year, the protagonists became Ferrari and Red Bull Racing. And Mei Ben's racing car fell from the rover to the earth.
In Bahrain, with the retirement of the Red Bull duo, Hamilton, who was not in qualifying, stood on the podium. At that time, he still had a smile on his face. But at the Saudi station, Lewis had a heavy face. There was too much behind in qualifying and not much to catch up with in the main qualifying round. The final result, ranked tenth. Hamilton's 1 point, not like saving face, but more bad results.
After the game, Hamilton leaned against the edge of the field for a while before leaving.
The Saudi race was supposed to belong to Lewis Hamilton. Because after this race, he will surpass Michael Schumacher to become the driver who has made the most appearances for the same team. He played 180 games for Meben, the original record was 179 games set by Schumacher at Ferrari.
However, this is not the record of Schumacher, which Hamilton most wants to hit.
The German legend and Hamilton are currently the first in seven overall results, but if this season continues to perform like this, it will not be September, and the little man will have to say goodbye to this year's champions.
Last year's results have shown that F1 belongs to the youngsters. The little man has little time left.
After the game, Hamilton complained, saying: "I didn't feel like we were improving. When I overtake Haas (Magnussen), he could catch up with me at any moment in terms of speed. They have that kind of strength. ”
You know, last season Meben was the first team, haas was the bottom of the team. Haas's progress, obviously. But Meben's racing car has regressed enormously.
Asked about the current pace, Hamilton said: "I feel like we're a long way from the rest of the team and we're still slow. It's not a problem or two that can be solved, it involves a lot of things. ”
It is reported that after the game, Mei Ben's engineer apologized to Xiao Han. But Hamilton replied, does it still make sense to take tenth place?
Just two games, Hamilton is 19 points behind Leclerc and nine points behind old rival Max Verstappen. Plus, he's six points less than teammate Russell.
The good news is that Mayben is on the team list and is currently ahead of Red Bull Racing.
If it were not for Zhou Guanyu and others being punished, it is difficult to say whether Xiaohan could get points at the Saudi Station.
The current Meben One driver is very depressed due to the long vacation time before. After returning from a series of bad things, his mentality has changed.
Russell of the Mayben team is very stable. His words were the exact opposite of Hamilton's. The new Driver of Meben said: The race is cool and intense. I tried as hard as I could to get fifth, and that's the most important thing. But the fifth is not the end, we have a lot of work to do, Mei Ben has made a lot of progress in recent times, we have made a leap forward. I'm sure we can still move forward, but I don't know exactly when.
