Former F1 driver turned commentator Martin Brundle believes that Lewis Hamilton will be "annoyed" with the fact that people are talking about Charles Leclerc and Max Verstappen instead of himself. 

"Teams today look more at talents like Verstappen and Leclerc. That will annoy Hamilton a lot," Brundle said to the Collecting Cars podcast. 

"They will not lower the stables and are forced to look ahead. They have to watch over their own future."

At the age of 34, Hamilton is in the final years of his career and it is time for teams to start preparing for the future. There is plenty of young talent coming through and there could be multiple world champions in the next decade. 

There is no doubt that Hamilton will try and break Michael Schumacher's all-time record and he is only one world championship win away from equalizing with the Germans impressive seven. 

Hamilton will remain in the sport for a few more years but teams will be starting to prepare for the future.
