Hamilton, contrary to the titles decided soon

From 2014 to 2020, Lewis Hamilton he won 6 out of 7 possible titles. Only Rossberg took the crown from him in 2016. Then his later partner boots he was never able to challenge him for the scepter and the British continued to win crowns unchallenged and early. Now, Lewis finds himself in a different situation after fighting for the 2021 title until the final lap against Verstappen in an unforgettable ending. Here in 2022with a Mercedes who started the year far from the top, the Briton continues to work so that Mercedes can find the path to victory for 2023. And in the meantime, he has reached Singapore away from the battle, no options, watching as Verstappen could be crowned this weekend with 5 races to go. He spoke about it in a press conference, being critical of the fact that a driver can win titles early, making it clear that he does not think it is good that he himself can win some of his titles with a difference from to the others.

“I feel sorry for the fans. For us, last year, fighting until the last moment, it was intense for everyone. It’s never good when the season ends early, even when I’ve experienced it ending early in places like Mexico,” he said.British pilot.

“For you, as an individual, it’s great, but for the sport it’s not amazing,” reflected the 7-time world champion.

Hamilton won the first two of his seven world titles in the final race of the season. He was also involved in final-round title deciders in 2007, 2010 and 2016 before last year, meaning he has lost more final-race title deciders than anyone in F1 history.

“I’m really grateful to have had years like 2008, until the last few seconds,” he said, recalling the title he won from Massa in Brazil when nobody expected it by beating Glock in the final corner. “And obviously, last year was more or less the same. So let’s hope that the future is a little better,” he said, recalling the last battle with Max from 2021.

“I rejected most of the advice I got from people around me, people you would consider mentors who told me to stay where I was, to stay.” In that sense, he denied that the decision to change teams was made because of the problem with his gearbox that sidelined him in the 2012 Singapore GP, when he was leading the race, something that kept him out of the fight for the title.

“People seem to think that I made the decision to move after that race. But that’s not the case. To be honest this race had no effect on that – the gearbox that failed here in 2012, that had no effect on my decision, because it happens those things. It was more, I think after the week, in Thailand. I was in a very quiet place and it really occurred to me that I was going to take this leap. Having that step, and obviously all the negative reactions, make you question whether you really made the right decision or not.”

“I am very proud and grateful to all the team members for how they accepted me and put me in a position to fight for a title”, he added, emphasizing how important it was to achieve his second title, the first. with Mercedes, in 2014, after 5 blank courses “With all the doubts over the years and the questions that go through my mind whether or not it will happen again, which you always overcome because you have to keep believe me, finally back to that position.. It was a very, very special year,” he said.
