Hamilton finished P2 in Australia (where Russell’s car forced him to retire early) but the debate is still raging about the bಞalance of power betwe♚en Mercedes’ two drivers.
Kravitz said 𝕴via Sky: “We really, really want to see Mercedes challenging for the 💟championship with Red Bull.
“Then🀅, we can get into champ𒈔ionship-challenging Russell against championship-challenging Hamilton.
“When they’ve actually got something to go for?
“I don’t know this for sure, but I would imag⭕ine, if I was Hamilton and I wasn’t in for the championship - ‘I have won so many, I’m not going for the champi𓆉onship, if George beats me I don’t really care’.
“You could reflect on 202ꦑ2 and say George did beat him in the points.
“[Hamilton would say]: ‘I am not in the ch♓ampionship, I don’t care if I’m third, four🅘th or fifth if I’m not No1’.
“That’s what I want to see. I want to see championship-challenging Russell again𝔉st championship-challenging Hamilton.
“We’ve seen in the past that Hamilton takes 🔯a step up when he’s challenging for the championship.”
Hamilton is𒈔 t♒he joint-record holder of F1 championships (seven alongside Michael Schumacher).
But he endured the worst season 🍰of his career in 2022, failing to win a race for the first time ever.

Hamilton, now 38 and with his contract expiring at the end of this season, dealt with many of Mercedes’ problems with last season’s car and is stil𓂃l working out the troublesome W14, although progress was made in Australia with his podium finis♓h.
