Hamilton believes Mercedes' struggles during the 2022 F1 season have helped the team 'sharpen our tools'. 'If anything, it has been a really valuable lesson learned for all of us and experience.'
at some point this year, adding that this current win drought dating back to last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix - the longest of his F1 career - “doesn’t faze me.”
The seven-time world champion said he wanted to “think more about the journey” that was Mercedes was on, believing its struggles this year would make it stronger in the future. “We started off not where we wanted to be,” Hamilton said. “We’ve made progress, we started to reach a patch of a bit of consistency. Not a single person in our team has given up and we’ve continued to push, so I’m really proud of the progress and the experience that we’ve had.
“Entering the season, [it’s] not necessarily the one you would ask for. But if anything, it has been a really valuable lesson learned for all of us and experience. “I think we’ve sharpened our tools in lots of other areas, so that when we do get back to where I feel like we deserve to be, I think we will appreciate it that much more.”
