After winning eight consecutive constructors’ world championships, Mercedes have endured a difficult 2022 campaign with their troubled W13 challenger following a major F1 regulation change over the winter. 

Hamilton, who is on course for the worstಌ F1 season of his career, is also at risk of losing his record of being the only driver in history to have won at least one grand prix every year he has competed.

With just four race🌃s left this season and Mercedes beginning to turn their attention towards 2023, the seven-time worl😼d champion is determined to keep spirits high. 

“For sure I’ve got to try and continue to 😼gee everybody up, make sure we leave no stone unturned so that next year, we arrive, and we can fight for positi🐬ons that we deserve to be fighting for,” Hamilton said.

“They know how to build a world championship fightin🐷g car. For me, it’s just trying to support them in the best way I can.”
