Lewis Hamilton, who debuted in 2007 in Formula One, belonged to a poor black family. He had nothing but talent and love for the sport and paved the way for becoming a seven-time world champion, and more on the way. What if he had a bad season last year? If he did not win a single race in 2022? What if he broke his winning streaks, he has already been too great. “There has never been a driver like me,” said Hamilton.
In 2022, the main reason why Lewis Hamilton and team Mercedes failed was because of the underperforming W13. Many fans started criticizing the champion for the bad season he posted last year. But millions of them still believe that he will get back the lost 8th title soon in 2023. Last year, fans were hoping to see Hamilton beat Max Verstappen. But it went totally opposite, and Hamilton again got beaten by the Red Bull star.
Mercedes took the wrong route and developed a very proposing car. However, the wound of passing the season without a win persisted. Lewis Hamilton is a seven-time world champion. He could not win after his 300 race started is kind of undigestable. On the other hand, his teammate George Russell, who joined Mercedes in 2022, got his maiden formula one win. He also defeated Lewis Hamilton in the driver’s standings by 34 points. But now, fans are scared that the fearful F1 omen will also stick with Hamilton and take him down.
Lewis Hamilton Confident About The 2023 Season
For 2023, not only Mercedes is preparing hard, but also Red Bull and Ferrari are getting updated. There will be a championship fight between Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton. But not to mention, George Russell has defeated hamilton with the worst Mercedes car. So maybe instead of the rivals, his own teammate will be a disturbing element in the 2023 championship battle. And if we consider the famous f1 omen, according to which drivers are unable to win a single race after 300 starts.
However, Lewis Hamilton is neither sad nor demotivated about the fact that he could face such a situation. Speaking with Formule1.nl, Hamilton said, “But there has never been a driver like me.” Yes, it is true. There has never been a driver to win 103 races; no driver has ever made the continuity that Hamilton maintained. No driver belonged to the same black poor family who had to face racism several times. Apart from that, no driver has seven world titles except Michael Schumacher, who must have been proud of Hamilton.
Meanwhile, as Lewis Hamilton already mentioned, “I can’t fight for the title with a car like W13”, Mercedes is preparing hard to change the DNA of the W14. This time the car will have no sidepod concept. There will be numerous micro aerodynamics upgrades in the 2023 championship machine of Mercedes. The single-seater will have a floor edge and will be fully adapted to the new technical rules imposed by FIA. Mercedes has promised Hamilton and Russell a strong car and free play; whoever does the best wins.
