F1 fans reacted to former Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson's bold opinion, as he stated Lewis Hamilton was too old and that his peak years in the sport had passed.
Ever since 2021, when Hamilton lost the world championship to Max Verstappen, he has not been able to perform at the highest level. In 2022, Mercedes suffered with massive car issues, particularly porpoising. This affected the seven-time world champion. Later, he received strong competition from George Russell, his new teammate. Before 2024 F1 season, Ferrari announced that they hired Hamilton from 2025 onwards.
Because of his subpar performances after 2021, Jeremy Clarkson felt that Hamilton's age has finally caught up to him and he was no longer in his prime. He talked about the Brit's performance in the 2024 Brazilian GP qualifying.
