(Motorsports news) Since losing the 2021 world championship to Max Verstappen in the Abu Dhabi grand finale, Hamilton has gone two seasons without a victory and dealt with challenging cars. But he argues that working to make the team and the equipment better has kept him sharp for the time when Mercedes can provide him a car that can win on its own.
When asked from Hamilton, where the desire came from after such a dry spell, he responded, “I don’t think it’s particularly difficult, because there’s always areas that you can improve.” “[We’re] merely adjusting how we operate in the background. “We’re always looking for ways to streamline our operations, and we’re always making changes. It is enhancing our communication in the background and ensuring that the department heads are receiving accurate information.
And deep dive into certain topics, such as bouncing, automobile characteristics, corner balances, and other related topics. Hamilton said he is confident his preparation for the W15 will pay off next year. “I’ve had more time to be able to focus on that with the team than ever before,” he continued. Additionally, be even more hands-on in general with the way the car is taking us in the upcoming year.
“And when I step away, I just make sure I’m physically fit and psychologically prepared for when the car is in the perfect location. Hold onto that, then. Fortunately, I also have access to these additional motivational factors that draw on the ecosystem as a whole. For instance, take the [Brad Pitt] movie. I’m simply passing the time, so yeah.
According to Hamilton, the team is currently accumulating information on the W14 that will help them improve the car for the following year. “We’re always learning more and more about the characteristics, the airflow, how the car works in cross winds, how it works in the high, medium, and slow speed corners, how you work with the tyres,” the man stated.
“High, medium, and low settings for downforce. As a result, you are always learning, data is continuously being supplied and analyzed, and every time we get in the car, I learn something new. “We’re learning more about the various ways we can use the engine and the gasoline. therefore you’re continually learning.
