Coulthard: Hamilton has a remarkable number of minor incidents

The number of minor errors Lewis Hamilton has made in 2021, as according David Coulthard, is proof that he is under pressure.

David Coulthard is astonished by Lewis Hamilton’s “remarkable” number of minor errors in 2021, despite the fact that the Mercedes driver got away with the most of them.

Unlike prior seasons, when Hamilton cruised to the World Championship with very little opposition, this year has been different. With six races remaining, he is six points behind Red Bull teammate Max Verstappen in the Drivers’ Championship.

Despite being able to escape with little consequences, Coulthard believes Hamilton’s frequent errors are a sign that he is under pressure.

“He has a remarkable amount of little incidents and he gets away with it,” 13-time Grand Prix winner Coulthard told Channel 4.

“Whether it was running into the gravel at Imola, touching the barrier and being able to reverse out, and various others… hitting the pit wall in Russia most recently, where there was minimal damage to the car.

“That is the remarkable thing. You don’t really see him drop the ball massively, [it’s] lots of little incidents, but it shows he’s under pressure.”

At the Turkish Grand Prix, Verstappen overtook Hamilton in the standings, with Hamilton noting that “time will tell” whether his late-race strategy drama will cost him the championship.
