Lewis Hamilton has ruled Formula 1 as its undisputed king for quite some time now. With Mercedes reigning supreme, the 38-year-old built a dynasty with the Silver Arrows. But with the advent of the 2022 regulation reset, the dominating force of the turbo-hybrid era felt short of its goals. Naturally, the new normal has been difficult for the 7x champion to deal with. While he continues to push on for further glory, the somber mood within the Brackley-based factory of the team is sure to take a toll on him.

One thing is clear for sure, Hamilton has his eyes set firmly on that elusive 8th world title. Be that as it may, as things stand, this is a distant dream for the multiple-time champion. Hence, it has now been speculated that Hamilton may have resorted to other means to restore the glories of his past acclaim.

Lewis Hamilton dubbed an attention seeker

Hamilton has had a lot of detractors in these past couple of years. While they’ve targeted his motivation and mojo, now, a certain ex-Formula 1 driver has come out and claimed Hamilton of resorting to childish maneuvers to get the people back on his side.

According to Ralf Schumacher, “Lewis Hamilton wants attention, you can see that in his outfits,” as quoted by Crash.net. This may come as an outlandish claim at first, however, Schumacher believes that Hamilton has been more proactive in this pursuit ever since he was outclassed by teammate, George Russell during the Miami Grand Prix.

But while a lot has been said about Hamilton and his intentions in the sport, the Brit is as motivated as ever to fight on.

Hamilton reveals what keeps him going

Being Lewis Hamilton would be the most difficult thing right now, from a Formula 1 perspective. However, with the championship mentality he has and the obvious racing pedigree, he has revealed what keeps him going even though currently, he is down in the dumps.

GPFans.com quoted Hamilton as revealing, “The last sprint race I was going backwards, it was demoralising. So it was great to have pace and make a couple of overtakes. That’s what I live for.”
