“Last year’s car It didn’t behave like a racing car.“. These words of lewis hamilton on last year’s Mercedes W13 they will not have sat too well in the team, their team. The Briton still has a year left on his contract.
Since last year, Hamilton has not used to keeping quiet about things. This caused him several direct confrontations with the team and specifically with his boss, Toto Wolff. And now he’s been very hard on silver arrows again.
“Last year’s car did not behave like a racing car and that makes you lose confidence. We believe those issues have been resolved, although when we get in the car we will know exactly how much has been resolved,” said the seven-time Formula 1 champion.
The Mercedes is almost nothing like the other cars on the grid. Something that Hamilton is not concerned about: “We have never been a team that copies other people. We have an open mind and we are creative and innovative. We like to do it our way and it has worked for us in the past.”
“I trust the engineers, we are left with this. And if not, we’ll find a way. The job of engineers is to find solutions, we prepare for everything. There is no crystal ball, but we can prepare to solve any type of problem,” Hamilton completed.
Despite everything, his confidence in those of Wolff is total: “This is my family, we have not lost the ability to win titles. The factory does not stop growing. When I go to the office eleven years later, everyone is excited to work here.”
