After his retirement in Melbourne, Lewis Hamilton called the start of the season the worst of his career. In Suzuka, the Mercedes driver said that the team has still not been able to find the right approach to the technical regulations, which have been in force since 2022, but the current car has speed, and now it is important to get more stability from it.
Lewis Hamilton: “We have not yet managed to find an approach, but this is not the end. Formula 1 is by its nature a difficult sport. If your first brick laid has a solid foundation, you can continue to build on it.
When we started working with the current generation machine, we laid five bricks, but we had to knock some of them down and try once more, knock them down and try once more, essentially reducing productivity. We constantly made changes, tried different solutions, lost the thread, found it, lost it once more. All this is very difficult.
But I’m more optimistic with this year’s car. In the first races we saw glimpses of speed, but then the pace suddenly disappeared. So the car definitely has speed, but we need to continue to work to make it more stable and easier to drive.”
