SAKHIR, March 3 — Lewis Hamilton admitted Thursday that he expects to struggle again in the early races this season, but hit back at observers who have suggested Mercedes’ lack of pace is the reason he has not yet signed a new contract.
He refuted claims made by former world champions Damon Hill and Jenson Button, working as pundits for Sky Sports, that he was considering leaving Mercedes if the team cannot regain a competitive level of performance.“I’m a fighter,” he said. “And we fight as a team. I love the challenge of finding solutions and I still believe I am capable of putting the car in places that others perhaps are not able to and I love it, that challenge.
“And having a difficult year as we had last year, I’m still here. And whether or not we have another difficult year this year, I’ll still be here.
