Never mind Hammer-Time, Tom Coronel thought it was 'go' time for Lewis Hamilton in early 2022... F1
Tom Coronel: It was ‘time to go’ for Lewis Hamilton before he got his ‘bite’ back in 2022As Lewis Hamilton fell behind George Russell at the start of the 2022 season, Dutch racing driver Tom Coronel thought it was “time to go” for the seven-time World Champion.Hamilton found himself trailing his new Mercedes team-mate Russell in the early part of the 2022 season, the 37-year-old left to do most of Mercedes’ experimental set-up work as the team tried to resolve their porpoising problems.
“At the start of the season I was like ‘it’s time to go’,” the 50-year-old said to the Dutch edition of“I don’t even know if it was so much the motivation. The blow you take as a sportsman after last year, of course you don’t just get over it. It gnaws in your head and you have sleepless nights. He fell short both days, rivals suggesting Mercedes put him on the wrong strategy, while a week later his team-mate Russell broke Mercedes’ duck when he won the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
“I have to say at the end of the year Lewis has driven really well and also showed that the fighting spirit is back, especially towards next year.”2022 was not Lewis Hamilton’s year. Whether it was the hangover from Abu Dhabi 2021, the porpoising W13, or that he was carrying out most of the development work for the team, it was the perfect storm that led to his first win-less season in 16 years on the Formula 1 grid.
