For a long time, at least, it seemed that Lewis Hamilton was in doubt about continuing his career in Formula 1. It is now clear that a fresh Hamilton wants to take his eighth world title in 2022. There appears to be no lack of motivation.
Many question marks
What was striking in Barcelona was how Hamilton walked through the pit lane, looking everywhere at what cars the competition had brought. During a press moment - which was also FormulaPassion was present - the Briton indicated that all those different cars made for him that this will be the most exciting and interesting season ever. "Nobody has any idea where he stands in relation to the others. It will be interesting to see where everyone stands during the first race," Hamilton told the press.
Of course, last season - with the intense battle between Verstappen and Hamilton - was the epitome of exciting. "I think every year is exciting," Hamilton continued. "But it's clear that up until last year, the car evolved from season to season. This generation of cars is completely new: I saw the drawings of the W13 several months ago. Now we are trying to look closely at the other cars to understand if there are teams that have chosen a different path. "
Tough competition
Hamilton will no doubt have seen in Barcelona that the competition this year could be cutthroat. Not only does he have to deal with his teammate George Russell and world champion Max Verstappen, but Ferrari and McLaren also impressed early in the season.
