The 2022 season hasn’t been kind to the seven-time world champion. Lewis Hamilton has been on the podium once. The English driver has reported struggling with the 2022 car W13 on many occasions.

The reigning constructor champions are not fighting for wins against Ferrari and Red Bull this season. Amid all this, Hamilton suggested the Brackley base to develop the current car before starting work on next season’s challenger.

Hamilton reported, “I think we have to find out what’s wrong with this car before we can make another car. If we started to build another single-seater, we could easily make a mistake.”
