Formula 1 continues this weekend with a Grand Prix race on the Silverstone circuit in Great Britain, and Lewis Hamilton declared himself extremely affected by the fact that despite the improvements made to his car, he failed to obtain a better position. Lewis Hamilton only placed 5th in the Silverstone Formula 1 qualifying race, despite the fact that he would have liked to be on the podium in his native country.
Lewis Hamilton had high hopes for the serious improvements made to Mercedes' Formula 1 cars, but it seems they weren't enough to put him in a position to give him a better chance to win his first Grand Prix race in 2022. Despite the poor positioning, for him, that the British driver has in this British Formula 1 race, we are still talking about one of the best of this season.
The improvements to the Formula 1 cars did not help Hamilton
Formula 1 started in 2022 with very poor developments for Lewis Hamilton, he failed to adjust to the changes made by Mercedes for their own cars, and this was fully seen in the poor results obtained so far. In the last 2 races Lewis Hamilton managed to finish in better positions in the ranking, but in Great Britain he wanted to get a victory in front of the British fans, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to do this starting from 5th place.
“I'm a bit disappointed because we have such a big crowd here and we worked so hard to fight for pole position today and I think we could have been in the top three; I was aiming for second at least, and to finish fifth makes it tough tomorrow. But I know I've got this amazing crowd with me tomorrow so I'll try to push forward."
Lewis Hamilton still placed better than his colleague George Russell, who only reached the 8th position, so his chances of finishing the race with a good position are even lower, but maybe both will manage to recover along the way the difference from the podium. Lewis Hamilton has set as his goal for the year 2022 the winning of the 8th championship title in Formula 1, but this seems extremely far from fulfillment due to the few points collected so far.
Formula 1 is still very far from the end this season, so Lewis Hamilton still has many chances to recover what he lost, so it remains to be seen to what extent his efforts will be crowned with success or not.
