“We’ve Got a Long Year Ahead of Us…”: Lewis Hamilton Retracts 2022 F1 Championship Surrender With Resounding Statement

Lewis Hamilton is one of the greatest drivers to grace F1. The Briton has enjoyed an ultra-successful career that sees him sit tied for the number of titles alongside Michael Schumacher. He dominated the turbo-hybrid era like no other picking up 6 of his 7-titles during the era.

However, this season has been quite contrasting for the Briton. The regulation changes mean that Mercedes and especially Hamilton have struggled this season. The opening 4 races see Hamilton sitting P7 in the driver’s standings.

Lewis Hamilton has not given up all hope of title in 2022

The 2022 season marks a complete change in the regulations. This has also marked Hamilton’s worst start to a season since his debut. Last weekend in Imola, it got to a point where Hamilton himself predicted his title chances over for the season.

However, the fans could not believe their ears as they heard the Briton put an end to his title hopes. This weekend in Miami, he was questioned about the same.

Hamilton reassured his fans and said, “We all should remember that I’m only human, right? Emotions are high when you’re in the car, when you get out the car, when you’re in the heat of the moment but I never give up and I’m not giving up.”

He also spoke about his efforts to make up for his recent performances, “I’ve been trying my hardest to see even if we can find a little bit of time and I’m here to fight, I’m here to chase still.”

Hamilton concluded by adding, “I really want to make sure at the end of the year I feel and we feel we’ve done everything we can as a team and we did it together.”

Will Lewis Hamilton be able to salvage this season or is his time as the kingpin of F1 coming to an end?
