The Mercedes F1 team entered the 2o22 season on the wrong foot as they did not seem to profit from the 2022 technical regulations.

After 19 rounds of racing in the 2022 championship, the Brackley-based team is yet to secure a win. Last time out at the USGP, hamilton came close to winning the first race but he was soon outpaced by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
