It's been a long time coming, but Mercedes-AMG finally broke its duck in 2022 with a victory at the Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix.

Perhaps more interestingly, it wasn't Lewis Hamilton who gave the reprieve, but new signee George Russell.The two British drivers started the race from the front, but an early safety car (SC) period on the opening lap bunched the field up.

At the restart, Hamilton and bitter rival Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) made contact, dropping both down the order.However, the Mercedes-AMG F1 car showed impressive pace around Interlagos, and it wasn't long before the seven-time F1 champion was behind his new teammate again.The win in Brazil is a reward for the uphill battle that's been 2022.

They were, at best, midfield challengers when the season started, and the eight months the season has been ongoing was about closing the gap to Red Bull and Ferrari.And Russell, he's been the more consistent performer between him and Hamilton, though the champ managed to come to grips with the car to rake in better performances.
