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 is struggling with the red racing car partly because he still hasn't "completely let go" of Mercedes and its customs:
"It's clear to me now that we can really get stuck in our habits. I've been driving for a long time in one team, and now I'm in a completely new car that requires a completely different driving style and setup."
There is, for example, the engine brake, which works completely differently, the brakes work differently, I used a different type than at Scuderia Ferrari. Here we use Brembo, while at Mercedes I have been driving with Carbone Industrie for the last 15 years. This car requires a completely different driving style from me, so I have to adapt. And I am doing that, I am adapting and I think I am starting to feel how to drive this machine.
Charles Leclerc, for example, can manage weekends with one set-up, while I try one after the other and I am already at a serious disadvantage. That is why my performance is inconsistent, I just have to do a better job and I will do that. At the moment I am complaining about everything myself, but in the next races I will try to open a new chapter, start with one set-up and stick with it. I think I have figured out what I need to be competitive, and if I apply it, I will qualify better, and if I qualify better, I will have a much better weekend!” - expressed Lewis Hamilton positively.
