Hamilton: Not the end of the world if Mercedes winless in 2022

Lewis Hamilton is adamant it will not be the “end of the world” if Mercedes fail to a win a race during the 2022 Formula One season.

A sequence of eight-consecutive constructors’ championship titles looks set to come to an end this year, with Mercedes sitting 139 points behind Red Bull.

Hamilton is also on course for an unprecedented experience in F1, having never gone a season without a race victory during his time on the grid.

Mercedes’ fall from grace has been one of the major stories in the 2022 season, but Hamilton has played down the significance of not topping the podium in the campaign.

“I do not look at it as a dry spell. I feel this year has been a year of growth,” he said ahead of Sunday’s race in Singapore.

“It has been a good experience for all. There are six races [left] so there’s six opportunities and we will try to get a win, but if we do not do well, I do not think it is the end of the world.”

Mercedes’ focus for the remainder of the season is to assure their second-place finish in the constructors’ championship ahead of Ferrari, with six races left before the end of the season.

“We just need to understand the car,” Hamilton added. “Our goal is a second placing. Hopefully, in the next six races, we will do well.”
