After less than two months of silence that felt like hundreds of “It’s been 84 years” memes in real life, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton cleared the air surrounding his future in F1. “I’m back,” was his simple but rousing message to his fans.
And recently, F1’s president Stefano Domenicali added fuel to this fire of excitement as Hamilton prepares to take the coming season by storm.
“I think he will be fully charged for the start of the season,” Domenicali said. “Lewis has in front of him a possibility to be an eight-time world champion.”

Domenicali added, “So I’m sure he is totally focused on these objectives because this year there will be so many new things, so many variables, that will allow this championship to be so attractive.”
Domenicali dreams of ‘more’ Lewis Hamilton- Max Verstappen like rivalries
When the F1 President mentions the “many variables” that will make the 2022 season more exciting, more attractive, he is pointing towards the epic rivalry that defined the 2021 season.
But in the coming season, Domenicali wants ‘more’ of the ‘same’ and ‘more in the same.’
“My aspiration for F1 is there would not only be a rivalry between two drivers, but a rivalry between more drivers because we are in front of a step change for F1 in regards to the new cars,” he said.

“My dream will be to have not only Max and Lewis fighting for that, but also having other drivers as part of the battle.”
So it will be interesting to see how the upcoming season shapes up. It will undoubtedly have a lot of expectations, to, if not surpass, at least match the excitement of the previous one.
