Hamilton: A pretty shocking year

“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.

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.
