Hamilton hits out at 'SHOCKING' Mercedes performance
Lewis Hamilton is one of the best drivers in Formula 1 history – but it hasn’t always been so easy for him throughout his career as he found out in 2022 after a tough stretch.
The Silver Arrows driver is set to depart the team after the conclusion of the 2024 season, where he ends a 26-year association with the organisation.

He’s without a win in over two years and his frustrations have led to him signing with Ferrari for at least two years beyond 2025.
Mercedes have tailed away from Red Bull at the front of the pack and have a lot of work to do to get back to where they were – something Hamilton doesn’t believe can happen soon enough for his needs.

Hamilton: A pretty shocking year
Speaking in season six of Netflix’s Drive to Survive, Hamilton shared his anger at a poor 2022 season in which aimed to avenge his title defeat of the season prior.
“After a difficult year in 2022, I didn’t get a win. Overall, a pretty shocking year,” he said. “My goal is to get back to the top. I’m trying to win a world championship again. Reclaim my eighth.
“I need to take back the championship that was taken from me. I need to own it.
It’s unlikely that they will get the chance to win another championship together with this season’s W15 in requirement of a lot more work.
But Hamilton could make a run at future titles alongside Charles Leclerc if he can get adjusted to his new environment at Ferrari and win some races.
