Lewis Hamilton feels that after four races he has finally found harmony with his car, from now on everything will be different and the results will come.
The seven-time world champion's struggles with the red racing car can also be attributed to the fact that he has not yet "completely let go" of Mercedes and the attachments he has there:
"It's now become clear to me that we can really get stuck in our own habits. I've driven a car for a very long time with one team, and now I'm in a new car that requires a completely different driving style and setup."
There's the engine brake, for example, which works completely differently, the brakes work differently, I used a different type than at Scuderia Ferrari. Here we use Brembo, at Mercedes I've been driving Carbone Industrie for the last 15 years. This car requires a completely different driving style from me, so I have to adapt. And I do, I adapt, and I think I'm starting to feel how to drive this machine.
"For example, Charles Leclerc can do weekends with one set-up, while I try one after the other, and that's already a big disadvantage. That's why my performance is inconsistent, I just have to do a better job, and I will do that. At the moment I'm making everything difficult for myself, but next race I'll try to turn a new page, start with one set-up and stick with it. I think I've figured out what it takes to be competitive, and if I apply that, I'll qualify better, and if I qualify better, I'll have a much better weekend!" - said Lewis Hamilton positively.
