Lewis Hamilton has won a race every season since he made his F1 debut back in 2007. But the British driver insists maintaining this record has 'zero importance' to him amid Mercedes' struggles this season.
at the very front this year, Hamilton finds himself in the longest winless run of his F1 career, dating back to last December’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Mercedes has made steps forward with its W13 car this year to become more of a threat at the front, but Hamilton has just six races remaining to maintain his record of winning in every season. Asked about the importance of the record, Hamilton said it had “zero importance to me”, his focus instead being on helping Mercedes rediscover its form.“I do believe that we're going to have a chance this year, [there are] still got some races to go. And that's definitely a real big goal for us as a team, to get back to the front and be fighting for the lead.”
Hamilton has a record 103 wins to his name, and entered 2022 with a chance to take the outright record for most consecutive seasons with a win. He is currently tied on 15 seasons with“I'm not focused on the record but of course, I'm trying to get that win this year,” said Hamilton.
Mercedes saw its form swing between the high-speed nature of Spa, where it found itself well off the pace of Red Bull compared to Budapest or Zandvoort, both of which were more suiting to the car and gave it a chance to battle at the front.“It was a surprise when we got in the car, and the car felt so much better than [at Spa], like completely different to the previous weekend. But I'm hoping more often than not, it feels like Budapest and [Zandvoort] for the rest of the races.
