We are just hours away from the start of the 2025 F1 season and the first free practice session for the Australian Grand Prix. And for one person, it will be the most special experience of their lives, and that person is none other than Lewis Hamilton.
Given the situation, many would think that a good deal of pressure is on Hamilton's shoulders, but he now sought to dispel those doubts:
"I think throughout my career, the pressure I put on myself has always been ten times greater than anything that has come from outside. So I can safely say that the real pressure is not being put on me by others now. I have huge expectations of myself: I know what I'm capable of, I know how I can perform. All you need to do is work, put your head down and work. I arrived in Australia with good feelings, I'm open and receptive, let's see what kind of rhythm we can pick up, what kind of vibes we get.
Yes, I'm still learning how the new car works. The truth is that it's very different from any race car I've ever driven before. The Mercedes engine is completely different from the Ferrari drivetrain, there are different feelings, different vibrations behind the wheel. This team is like that: it works completely differently." - we'll soon get a real-life picture of how.
