F1 star disputes 'incredible' last Hamilton win at Mercedes

Oscar Piastri hilariously dismisses the idea of Lewis Hamilton securing a win in his last season with Mercedes.

The upcoming 2024 season marks the culmination of the seven-time world champion's 12-year stint with the Silver Arrows, concluding a historic partnership that commenced with Hamilton's Mercedes-powered McLaren at the start of his F1 career.

The British driver is set to embark on a sensational move to Ferrari for the 2025 season, signing a multi-year contract with the iconic Maranello team.

Piastri puts down incredible final Hamilton win

While he has seen incredible success with the team with six of his seven world championship coming in Mercedes machinery, Hamilton has struggled to extract consistent performances from his car during the ground effect era.

The 39-year-old has not won a race since 2021 and he is determined to end his time with the team on a high note, but McLaren’s Piastri could not help but brush aside his fellow driver with a laid back comment.

Appearing on The Fast and the Curious podcast, the presenter asks the Aussie if it would be incredible if Hamilton won a race this season in his final year with Mercedes.
