Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes would be wrong to write off the troubled 2022 project and immediately start working from the drawing board on next year’s car. “I pray that the car is not like it was in Monaco,” Hamilton said when asked about the next race at Baku. “It was the worst moment I have experienced in this car so far, simply because of the bumps. “But I think we have to find out what’s wrong with this car before we can make another one. If we started to build another car we could easily make a mistake. However, he admitted to being very sure about “a lot of things I wouldn’t want from this car in next year’s car”.
