In a recent Instagram activity, the Silver Arrows ace showed his concern for his fans. By putting up a story on Instagram, Hamilton conveyed, “Taking a moment to give thanks to all of you for being with me on this journey. For your love and support. Nothing is promised in this life.”
“We have to make the most of it, cherish every moment, be kind to yourself and others. Don’t give up hope, don’t give up on yourself, push through it. We got this. Sending you high vibrations and love for your week,” the statement further said.
The message for the fans comes right before Lewis Hamilton moves to the United States for the second American Grand Prix of the 2022 F1 season. Eyeing for a win, the Briton is expected to give it all to pick up at least one win this season.
Can Lewis Hamilton carry on with his incredible record?
Lewis Hamilton has an incredible record, which only one other driver has, Michael Schumacher. The Mercedes driver has recorded at least one win every season for 15 consecutive seasons. Starting from 2007, the span stayed until 2021.

However, things look a bit risky for Hamilton as the Silver Arrows star is yet to pick up a win in 2022. Max Verstappen took the majority of the wins this season, followed by Charles Leclerc, Sergio Perez, and Carlos Sainz. With 18 rounds already over, only four are left.
Moreover, team Mercedes are still without a win in 2022. While Red Bull has recorded 14 wins, Ferrari has got four. Notable records for the Brackley-based team were the pole by George Russell in Hungary and 13 podiums.
