F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix: Lewis Hamilton addresses last year’s controversy - “I won’t think of the past”

Hamilton and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Max Verstappen arrive at the 2022 finale at the same circuit as one of F1’s most controversial moments at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
Hamilton was denied an all-time record eighth title and Verstappen won his first championship when then-race director Michael Masi incorrectly applied a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car rule.
Hamilton told Sky as he arrived this weekend: “I am very much living in the present. I won’t ♍arrive thinking of the past.
“I will focus oඣn… I don’t know if we are able to win this weekend. I don’t know if the car will wor🐓k well here on the long straights.
“But if there’s a chance, we will go for it.”
Last weekend in Brazil, Hamilton finished behind Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell who won his first ever F1 grand prix.
It was notably Mercedes’ first win of 2022 at the penul𝔉timate opportunity after a year blighted by porpoising and performance issues, and gives hope that they could challenge✨ Verstappen and Red Bull in 2023.

“It’s all down to th🐈e huge workforce that we have in the UK who have been so determined all year,” Hamilton said. “It was frustrating for them that all their work last winter turned♔ out how it did.
“Rather than sulk or get down, everyone has been geed🐽 up.
“We have tested so many things, had so many u🅘pdates.
“To finally bring the update in Austin then see its performance appear over the past three races has♛ been so reviving.”
