Mercedes looking for its first win this season after best performance in qualifying
Lewis Hamilton and George Russell will be looking for that elusive first win for Mercedes this season at the 2022 . The Silver Arrows have been unable to win a race this season, getting a best result of P2 multiple times.The team missed out narrowly last weekend in Austin when Max Verstappen pipped Hamilton in the final few laps to go on and win the race. Meanwhile, fans have pointed out the advantage of starting third at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. The driver who starts third gets the slipstream to the first corner, which is very important on a high downforce track like this. Starting P3 also gets to start on the clean part of the track with better grip unlike P2 which starts on the dirt side of the track. Hamilton, who will be starting third, has previously won on the track in 2016 and 2019. He is looking for his first win this season to break Michael Schumacher's record of winning a race for 15 consecutive seasons. The Mercedes driver is currently tied with the German legend for the record and a win in the final three races will enable the Briton to take over the record.
