Lewis Hamilton is a classy man, as is often displayed by his actions. The Briton is gracious in loss and very supportive of almost every driver on the grid.

He arguably might not have many friends on the grid, but he sure has a big heart. Despite troubled times with Mercedes, the man is simply not giving up on his calm and composure.

Lewis Hamilton never fails to impress

Lewis Hamilton is a world-class athlete, a global icon, and an inspiration to many. The 2022 season has been a real check of his temperament, as his car cannot provide him a proper chance at the title. Lewis, in fact, for the first time in years, failed to qualify for Q2 a few weeks back. We understand this cannot be easy for a seven-time world champion.

Amidst the W-13 struggles, he nearly missed out on the podium unluckily as teammate George Russell made his way to a podium finish. While arguably Hamilton deserved to be on the podium as well after a wonderful performance, it just wasn’t his day.

Good vibes only

We knew Sir Hamilton to get a bit grumpy after a tough loss or after any loss, to be honest. But this season saw him become understanding more than ever. You’ll never find the man shouting at the team radio, in fact, even a P5 or P4 is a positive result for him. While this is not ideal for what Hamilton is used to, he cannot complain.

Mercedes, on the other hand, is slowly and steadily making its way back to the top. The Australian GP saw W13 recovering a bit from a rather shabby pace and grip, and wasn’t porpoising at all. If the Silver Arrows’ camp has somehow managed to recover from that violent oscillating movement, we’re sure they can make a comeback.
