Lewis Hamilton has set his sights on “unfinished business” after signing a new contract with Mercedes, but insists it is “not about revenge” for the controversial conclusion to the 2021 F1 world championship.
Hamilton insisted there was “no” doubt that he wanted to continue with Mercedes and extend his tenure in F1.
“I definitely wanted to continue,” he explained. “I think in life, when you have ups and downs, like last year was a difficult year.“I am pretty sure everyone was questioning whether they wanted to continue because it’s tough at the top. It’s such a tough sport but that thought quickly goes away and you put your mind and energy into the best you can be and deal with the situations that you’re faced with.
“I am really proud of what we’ve achieved last year to get through it. Whilst we started on the wrong foot this year to have some really great results, we’re second in the constructors’ championship and the plan is to keep that and then close the gap to the guy ahead.”“The unfinished business is getting us back to the top, back to fighting for championships.
“We’ve been the most successful team in history, the most successful run in 10 years, but it’s been a challenge, the past year. “It’s getting us back to where we belong, and where we operate in all those cylinders, which we’re seeing Red Bull are doing.”
