The Briton lost out on the 2021 title to Max Verstappen, in the season finale. Although he came into the season to avenge that, so far he has not had a great start to the 2022 season. Hamilton and Mercedes have been off the pace of their competitors, Ferrari and Red Bull. Despite that, he has a podium to his name that he got in the season opener in Bahrain.

However, the second race in Jeddah saw him fight the entire GP for position, only to finish in P10 to collect a solitary point. However, the last weekend in Melbourne was a lot better for Hamilton, as he finished in P4, behind his teammate, George who received his first podium for his new team.
