Lewis Hamilton admits Mercedes will 'obviously not fight for the championship' after Sprint failure
Lewis Hamilton appeared to give up hopes of winning the Formula 1 championship after a 14th-placed finish at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix Sprint on Saturday. The former world champion, with seven titles to his name, struggled in the curtailed format alongside teammate George Russell, despite the pair being some of the fastest drivers at free practice two earlier in the day. Ad/> Russell took 11th, three places out of the points, and there seemed to be little encouragement for the pair ahead of Sunday’s full race.
