Hamilton finished sixth in the 2022 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 standings, his worst-ever result while not winning a single race for the first time, but Mercedes teammate Russell finished𒁃 fourth and won a maiden grand p🍨rix in Brazil.

Although Hamilton, aged 37, will vie to win an all-time record eighth F1 championship next year by wrestling the title back from 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, he ⛄may find competition from inside the Mercedes garage.

“I think I’ve got enough experience now that I feel ready to fight for a championship💃 and be able to handle the challenges and difficulties that come with it,”𓄧 Russell told .

“Obviously the l⛎ikes of Lewis and Max have more experience in that scenaജrio. But if you go out and you put it on pole and win every race you will be world champion. So you have just got to focus on smaller details and it’s in your own hands, almost.”

Russell outperformed Hamilton in the early parts of 2022 as Mercedes battled 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:porpoising, leading to questions about the seven-time world champion’s ability ෴a🃏t that stage.

It has since emerged that each driver ran different experiments in a desperat🔥e attempt to shed tꦓhe W13 of its problems.

Russell did, however, emergeꩲ from a debut season alongside Hamilton with incredible credit.

“We went through the stats and statistically I finished ahead🔯 of my teammates, I think 95% of the time, in the five years prior to my year here,” the ex-Williams driver said. 

𓆉“So I was used to a certain level of outscori🏅ng them or whatever you want to call it. 

“But then I had to say: ‘I🧸f it’s 55/45 in my favour, even if I lose 45% of the time, that’s going to still be incredibly successful against Lewis’.

“So psych🐎ologically you need to set yourself up for small failures. I’m not going to beat hꦯim every single session, every quali, every race, that’s just absolutely not going to happen. 

“But having a year like we’ve had this year, I don’t know what the numbers are, but it probably is 55/45, roughly. And that’ꩲs an incredibly successful year, and almost equivalent to maybe what the 95/5 was for me previously.

“I always believed in mysel🍷f, but definitely it’s always a mindset. And if you go with the mindset that I’m going to beat Lewis Hamilton 95% of the time, you’re going to come away disappointed.”
