Lewis Hamilton has confirmed he is prepared to make a huge sacrifice as he targets an eighth F1 title before he retires. The seven-time champion is ready to give up on winning a race this season despite his drought now lasting for over 18 months.
Instead, he has urged Mercedes bosses to start preparing next year’s machine if it can help him win a first Drivers’ Championship since 2020. Hamilton made the revelation when pushed on whether he could win at least one Grand Prix in 2023 after a winless season last year.
He responded: “I don’t know. I mean I’m trying to win a race, as I said I really have no idea. Depends where the car goes. I think hopefully we will get close but I can’t predict what Aston are going to do, what Ferrari are going to do, where Red Bull are going to be. But I hope so.
“I also hope we don’t focus too much on winning the race this year. I care less to win a race this year and more to win the championship next year.”
The Austrian revealed the German marque would be going down a slightly different route with “fundamental” updates based on what they have learned from the W14. He commented: “The good thing is that we are constantly learning about what the car is doing.
