'We started with a car we didn’t want and we finished with a car we didn’t want.' AbuDhabiGP F1
Lewis Hamilton’s brutal assessment as he finishes F1 2022 with zero winsLewis Hamilton has reflected upon the first winless season of his Formula 1 career, which ended with a late retirement from the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The 37-year-old Briton was continually active on the team radio, at various intervals reporting his thoughts that he was “losing power”, “something’s up with the car” and “the floor is broken” before a terminal issue occurred with just a few laps remaining.
Put to Hamilton by Sky F1 that the race in Abu Dhabi had been representative of his whole year, he quickly replied: “Yeah, it really was.” “But we were basically stuck with it and we just kept trundling away, kept working away at improving it, but the fundamentals have still been there all the way to the end, as you saw this weekend.
