Hamilton confident of title chances: 'Mercedes doesn't make mistakes'

Lewis Hamilton is confident that together with Mercedes he will expand the trophy cabinet considerably in 2022. He is convinced that even the new regulations will not be able to stop his team from winning another world title, because 'Mercedes doesn't make mistakes.'

Hamilton sees no reason to doubt his team's title chances, even given the sweeping rule changes. The Mercedes driver sees no reason why things should be different now, as his team has won the constructors' title eight times in a row.
