Hamilton has endured a miserable start to his final season as a Mercedes driver currently in P9 going into the Chinese Grand Prix.

The 39-year-old’s rocky start to the season has sparked doubts about his upcoming transfer to Ferrari.

Especially with Carlos Sainz’s impressive performances including two third-place finishes and a Grand Prix win in just three races.

And Bleekemolen expressed doubt about the mentality of the seven-time world champion and does not think he will be able to compete for a World Championship with Ferrari.v
