Martin Brundle joins growing group of F1 figures concerned about Lewis Hamilton Martin Brundle worries Lewis Hamilton's "peak" may be behind him as the Brit prepares to mount a title challenge with new team Ferrari.
No driver over 40 has won a race since Nigel Mansell did so at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix, while 1966 was the last season which ended with someone in their 40s as the drivers' champion - Jack Brabham's third and final title.
Hamilton ended his Mercedes career on a high by overcoming a disappointing qualifying result to finish fourth in Abu Dhabi, including a breath-taking overtake on Russell during the final lap.
He was comprehensively beaten by team-mate George Russell in their qualifying and race finish head-to-heads over the course of the 2024 campaign, while the younger Brit also finished ahead in the championship.
Hamilton officially became a Ferrari employee at the start of January, almost 12 months on from his decision to quit Mercedes.
