F1 Italian Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton insists that losing his all-time record has “zero importance”
Hamilton is the o♉nly F1 driver in history to have won a race in each season that they have competed, but he hasn’t yet won in a disappointing 2022.
He will start the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Italian Grand Prix from the back of 🌞the grid, then has six more chances to save his remarkable record, butཧ has shrugged off its value.
“Honestly it has zero importance to me,” the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mercedes driver said before 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Friday Practice.
“I am grateful that each year since 2007 weꦍ have had the opportunity to win, and I do believe we are going to have a cha🗹nce this year.
“There are still seven races to go and it’s definitely a big goal for the team to be back at the 𒅌front and fighting for the lead.
“I am not focused on the record. I am, of course, trying to get the win this year but the rไecord is not important to me.
“I don’t really care about records, in general.”
Hamilton has won a race in each year since 2007 but has followed up the disappointing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Abu Dhabi 2021 finale with a season blighted by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:porpoising and performance issues with his car.
He retains many incr⛦edible F1 record𝔍s - the most race wins, the most consecutive race starts, the most points, among them.
But most impressively he is joint-holder, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Schumacher, of the most championships (seven). But time is running out for the 37 year old to add one more title 🍸to become the outright record-holder.
“For sure, it’s a💝 challenge,” he said. “It’s just about winning another world championship.
“Each one I approach as my first.
“The feeling꧒ of winning a world championship i😼s so unique and special.
“The idea that no driver in history has gone♈ past seven? Of course you want to accomplish that.
“But as you get older, you realise that the journey is the most important part. The r꧙ide with all the people that you bring with you.
“There is an opportunity to elevate a lot ꦬof people - not only in my team, but with th𓆏e work we do in Mission 44.
“There is a much bigger picture.
“But from a 💦personal point of view? Winning another world championship remains a goal. I will be so proud to do this for my team.”
