Hamilton impressed the English intersex activist and columnist Valentino Vecchietti last season with his actions in Qatar. Valentino reported to CNN, “It means everything. I can’t express what an amazing, massive, massive thing Lewis Hamilton has done. And I feel emotional talking about it because we are so hidden and stigmatized as a population.”

Hamilton doesn’t want Mercedes to shift their focus to 2023

The 2022 season hasn’t been kind to the seven-time world champion. Lewis Hamilton has been on the podium once. The English driver has reported struggling with the 2022 car W13 on many occasions.

The reigning constructor champions are not fighting for wins against Ferrari and Red Bull this season. Amid all this, Hamilton suggested the Brackley base to develop the current car before starting work on next season’s challenger.

Hamilton reported, “I think we have to find out what’s wrong with this car before we can make another car. If we started to build another single-seater, we could easily make a mistake.”
