Hamilton concedes he’s out of 2022 F1 title contention
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Lewis Hamilton has declared himself out of the race for the 2022 Formula 1 World Championship following Sunday’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Hamilton endured a difficult race stuck deep in the pack, and crossed the line in 13th place.

The seven-time World Champion was chasing AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly for most of the race, but couldn’t force a move on the Frenchman.

With no points scored for this first time this year, Hamilton currently sits seventh in the Drivers’ Championship, 58 points down on Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.

“I am out of the championship, for sure, there’s no question about that, but I’ll still keep working hard and try and somehow pull it back together somehow,” Hamilton said.

“Everyone’s feeling it, and everyone’s just head down trying their best, there’s no-one that’s giving up, everyone is trying to move forward as fast as they can.”

Despite accepting that he is not in contention for the title this season, Hamilton has asserted that he has “definitely had lower moments” during his career.

Mercedes still managed to score points on Sunday, as George Russell fended off Valtteri Bottas in the latter stages of the race to take fourth.

“I don’t really know what to say,” added Hamilton. “It definitely isn’t easy. We all feel it as a team. 

“At least George got some points for the team today, my apologies to everyone that I wasn’t able to do the same.”

Mercedes has also taken a hit in the Constructors’ Championship, with Red Bull’s strong weekend elevating it into second place.

Ferrari currently leads the standings, with Mercedes, who has won the Constructors’ title every year since 2014, sitting 47 points down on the Maranello-based squad.

      … 4 straight top 5s for George Russell suggests, Hamilton’s complacent. Overpaid, apathetic, lethargic, self-entitled, painfully evident, Hamilton’s dragging his feet –

      He’s aged out. Punch drunk. Way too many mistakes these last two years.

    … Lewis Hamilton 5 biggest problems:

    – He’s become political
    – He’s emotionally unstable
    – He’s inattentive (easily distracted)
    – Character flaws (e.g., unappreciative; lacks discipline; lies to win arguments)
    – He is grossly overpaid

      Put the two of them in the same car, on the same track, at the same time? The woke kewl hip-hop culture war victim, Hamilton 2.0.4, would fall more than a second and a half slower per lap, than Ron Dennis’ Lewis Hamilton, version 1.0.1, circa 2008. The Hip-Hop jewelry laden Hamilton of today is a far-far cry, from the businesslike, wide-eyed, bushy tailed Hamilton of yore.

        The Ron Dennis Hamilton was the fastest kid we’d ever seen. The gansta-Hamilton turned out to be such a wretch, we wouldn’t put him in our tin-top –
