Lando Norris has leapt to the defence of Lewis Hamilton after questions were raised about the champion’s F1 career at Ferrari.

Former Mercedes driver and Hamilton team-mate Nico Rosberg appeared baffled at the champion’s loss of form during Sky’s broadcast, questioning whether age has tempered Hamilton’s ability.

The seven-time world champion described his performance as ‘terrible’ after the Spanish Grand Prix, and delivered yet another dejected post-race interview as his McLaren rivals secured a one-two finish.

The champion’s charitable foundation Mission 44 recently released a set of recommendations to the UK government over educational inclusion and reform, after concerning levels of exclusions and suspensions had been reported.

Hamilton even met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street, where the F1 legend revealed his own personal experiences in education and stated that school had ‘failed’ him.
