Montoya said: “I think Lewis Hamilton has a point to prove, he won’t lie down and submit to defeat. He will win the championship or die trying, as they say. He will give it a big push next year. His frustration is due to him thinking he’s doing more than what Ferrari are doing for him.

“I think he feels he’s putting in a lot of effort to try make things work, but the team aren’t matching that energy. Give Hamilton the right tools and he’ll be there competing at the top. When things click and the motivation to compete is back, oh my god, Hamilton will be unstoppable.

    Lol Ferrari has sucked for years now, Hamilton moving there was a mistake. Hopefully he helps turn the team around, but it’ll take more than one guy.

      Ferrari has sucked for years now

      And they fired one of their most valuable employees who’s now lifting Williams up

      I have yet to hear a single sentence from Hamilton that suggests that he has enough technical knowledge to develop the car.

          He’s the greatest driver in the history of the sport

          A video game speedrunner has different skills from a video game QA tester.

          It was a big story when Hamilton drove the simulator late in his Mercedes tenure.

          you think he lacks knowledge of the car?

          Ferrari announced that Hamilton would work with the brake disc supplier to change their behavior. A few races later the brake discs fail.

          Then who has it?

          Mercedes’ downturn began when they fired Bottas. Ferrari’s doesn’t even manage to get by a 1-man team in the WCC since they fired Sainz. Meanwhile Sainz lifted Williams to a bronze medal in the US Sprint.
