We are just hours away from the start of the 2025 F1 season and the first practice session for the Australian Grand Prix. And for one man, it will probably be the most extraordinary experience of his life, and that man is none other than Lewis Hamilton.
Given the situation, one might think that there is a lot of pressure on Hamilton's shoulders, but he has now sought to dispel those doubts:
"I think the pressure I've put on myself throughout my career has always been ten times greater than anything that's been put on me from the outside. So I can safely say that even now I'm not really under pressure from others. I have huge expectations of myself: I know what I can do, I know how I can perform. It doesn't take anything other than work, putting my head down and working. I came to Australia with good feelings, I'm open and welcoming, let's see what rhythm we can catch, what vibes appeal to us.
Yes, I'm still learning how the new car works. The truth is that it's very different from the racing machines I've ever driven. The Mercedes engine is completely different from the Ferrari power unit, I get different feelings and different vibrations behind the wheel. This herd is like that: it works completely differently." - how, we'll see it live soon.
