Lewis Hamilton endured his WORST ever F1 season, failing to win for the first time and being easily beaten by team-mate George Russell… but here is why even at 38 he can take inspiration from an old rival and hit back to win a record eighth world title

Perhaps no driver on the Formula One grid will be happier to see the end of 2022 than Lewis Hamilton following the worst year of his career. George Russell came into the Mercedes team for the 2022 season and did more than just pip Hamilton following his move from Williams – with 275 points he eclipsed the seven-time world champion by 35 points. In Britain during this run he was also in the hunt for a race win only for Mercedes strategy and safety cars to ultimately go against him at Silverstone. Providing Mercedes give him a race car able to compete regularly at the front for 2022, and that is a strong possibility, title No 8 could still very much be his to take in the 2023 season.
