There are only five races to go before the 2022 season concludes. However, the new 2022 regulations are still a topic of discussion. This time around, Lewis Hamilton shared his opinion on the regulations introduced to increase competitiveness.

The Mercedes man, who has registered a race win in each of his last 15 seasons, is yet to do so in the current season. The regulations played a big part in that as Mercedes struggled through most of the first half of the season. However, the regulations did could not close the gap on the grid between the teams, with Red Bull being head and shoulders above the competition.

Ferrari put up a fight, but the Italian team is now lagging in both championship standings. Commenting about the same to Sky Sports, Hamilton said, “It’s not achieved what it was supposed to achieve, so we’ve failed in that. When you fail once, you try again, and if you fail a second time, you continue to try.”

“I hope that more changes are made to try and bring all the teams closer and create better equality throughout the racing space. It’s my hope we can all be closer. Red Bull has walked away with it this year, they’ve done a great job,” Hamilton concluded.

The gap is immense between leader Max Verstappen and runner-up Charles Leclerc. The Dutchman has been absolutely dominant this season with 11 race wins. He could’ve wrapped up the championship in Singapore, but he will have to wait a little longer.

The imminent championship result makes the sport less exciting for the fans, claims Hamilton.

Lewis Hamilton feels for the fans

Hamilton also shared his thoughts on the excitement and competitive part of the sport while comparing his previous win and the 2021 championship.

He said, “Definitely, I feel for the fans. For everyone and even for us last year going down to the wire, that was intense for everybody and so it’s never great when the season finishes early. So I’m really grateful to have had 2008 right down to the last 17 seconds,” he said.
