Lewis Hamilton has had a difficult start to the 2022 season. The Britton has struggled with his W-13, which has not been the quickest car on the grid. However, last weekend at Silverstone saw a massive improvement from the Britton. Hamilton, at one point, was nearly contesting for the race win; ending his home race with the fastest lap.

However, instead of giving credit where credit was due, it was Hamilton’s car that was handed all the plaudits. At the driver’s press conference ahead of the Austrian GP, a reporter told Hamilton, “By some measure you were the fastest car at Silverstone..”.

However, Hamilton did not let that slide as he quickly quipped, “Driver you mean”. The fans have loved this response from Hamilton and gone wild on Twitter in his support.

However, there were, as usual, some naysayers against the 7 time champion. They had their own opinion on the matter.

Some fans broke it down from a technical perspective to back their opinions.

Whatever the case, it was a splendid driver from Hamilton. The Britton had a great outing and a podium to show for it. This makes it two podiums in two races for Hamilton. After this string of performances, he will be hopeful of his chances this weekend in Austria as well.
