Though he won’t be happy about it, 7-time Formula one World Champion Lewis Hamilton has established a negative personal record. For the very first time in his Formula One career, the Mercedes driver has failed to win in more than ten races in a row.

With his third-place finish at the Silverstone Circuit, Hamilton finished his eleventh race in a row without a victory. a streak that started in Abu Dhabi 2021, when he was defeated by reigning Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen on the last lap of the race and missed out on the title.

Hamilton’s streak of losses also implies he won’t have a triumph in 2022. Hamilton would fail to win in a season for the first time in his Formula One career if he does not do so in the current campaign.

“We’ve made a step closer to them. So we’ve got to keep pushing. The fact that we were able to follow and dice like that, lap on lap, is a testament to the direction I think that we’re now in. I was just grateful that I could be in the battle. Because I’ve not been in that fight for a while,” said Hamilton after the British Grand Prix.

“For a good period of time, I was matching the Ferraris’ pace, and even better at some stages. And we got the quickest lap at the end. I think the race pace was definitely improved. That’s been our strongest part of our car, I think, this year in general. But it’s definitely helped us get a little bit closer. I don’t think we’re in a winning position yet. But we’re not far away,” concluded the 37-year-old driver.
