🗣️ 'I think ultimately the last race was like the whole season, it sums up the whole year. I'm glad it's done.' Lewis Hamilton on his AbuDhabiGP retirement to end a tough 2022 F1 season ⬇️
On lap 55 of 58, he was forced to retire with an undiagnosed issue while running fourth, which contributed to him registering his worst ever championship position of sixth.
Reflecting after the race, Hamilton says he always believed he could win a race in 2022 despite his car problems and is “very pleased that it’s over” now. “I always believed right to the last race that there was potentially a chance,” he said, when asked if there came a point this year when he was resigned to not winning a race.“I gave it everything and I think ultimately the last race was like the whole season, it sums up the whole year. So, I’m glad it’s done.“I think this year when we got our first fifth it felt like a win. When we got our first fourth it felt like a win, when we got our first podium it felt like a win.
