Lewis Hamilton is in a confident mood ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season. The motorsport legend has enjoyed plenty of success over his 15 years in the sport, including seven world championships.
But 2021 and 2022 were difficult years for the Brit for different reasons. A controversial decision in the season’s final race prevented him from winning a record eighth title. This past season, Mercedes were completely out of contention last year and Hamilton failed to win a single race.
He finished sixth in the drivers standings and was beaten by new teammate George Russell, who claimed his first F1 victory in Brazil last November. But despite the challenges he has faced over the last two years, the 38-year-old has the belief in his abilities that both he and Mercedes can turn things around in 2023.
