Can Lewis Hamilton bounce back in 2022?
The sport will introduce new rules and regulations from the 2022 season. The new cars will make racing easier for the drivers and expect to bring the field closer. Mercedes technical director Mike Elliott revealed how the 2022 cars would be different from the previous iterations.
“This year’s cars are going to be hugely different. I think the most visible difference will be the aerodynamic shape of the car. Not only are the aerodynamics different, but the whole way the regulations are constructed are completely different.” said Elliot.

“The power unit this year is very different as well. That is going to be fit until 2025, and that also has to run what’s called E10 fuel… We have 18-inch rims and tires to go with that so I think that is going to be quite a big difference and there is also an increase in mass,” said the Mercedes technical director.
Lewis Hamilton faces a new challenge entering the 2022 season, not only with respect to the car but also in the form of a new teammate in George Russell. To make another championship bid, Hamilton would have to assert his dominance over the young driver and make his charge. Let’s wait and see if the seven-time world champion can challenge for his record eighth title in 2022.
