Former F1 driver reveals Lewis Hamilton might have an advantage in 2022 cars

As reported by PlanetF1, former Williams driver Sergey Sirotkin believes that Lewis Hamilton might have an advantage over the field in 2022. The Russian driver stated that the 2022 cars will suit the British driver more than world champion Max Verstappen.

“This year we will, of course, get completely new cars. These should be slower in the corners, which means you have to brake longer and more for this. Compared to last year, you spend more time. This will mainly be to Hamilton’s advantage, again especially on tracks where it matters such as Barcelona and Budapest,” said Sirotkin.

“Nobody knows exactly how the 2022 cars will fare, of course, but the fact that, in theory, they will be a little more difficult to drive may be somewhat beneficial to Hamilton as he controls his car’s balance so well. 

When you talk about that control over the brakes, rotation, and weight transfer at the entry of a corner, Lewis is definitely number one on the grid,” said the former Williams driver.

Well, this is certainly good news for Lewis Hamilton fans, who will hope the Mercedes ace will bounce back like we expect champions like him to do. What are your predictions for Hamilton and Mercedes in 2022?
