Hamilton: New Mercedes car is not far from the worst car of my career

Lewis is only seventh in the individual standings of the new season

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton commented on the problems that the Briton is experiencing with the new car Mercedes at the start of the 2022 season.

Lewis compared the new model to the worst car of his career, the McLaren team’s 2009 model.

“People look and say that I have never had a bad car. I can assure you that it was. The 2009 car was very, very far behind. And the current car is not far from that experience of mine, ”explained the 37-year-old driver.

After four races in the new season, Hamilton is seventh in the drivers’ standings, 58 points behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.

Lewis won his last league title in the 2020 season. Last year, Max Verstappen of Red Bull became champion for the first time in his career.

May 6-8 in Formula 1 will host the US Grand Prix, which will host Miami. The start of the race on Sunday is at 22:30 Kyiv time.
