We are just hours away from the start of the 2025 F1 season and the first free practice session of the Australian Grand Prix. This will surely be one of the most special experiences of someone's life, namely Lewis Hamilton.
Given the situation, many would think that a good dose of pressure is weighing on Hamilton's shoulders, but he has now tried to dispel those doubts:
"I think that throughout my career, the pressure I put on myself has always been ten times greater than anything else that has acted on me from the outside. So I can safely say that now it is not others who are putting the real pressure on me. I have enormous expectations of myself: I know what I can do, I know how I can perform. For that, I just have to work, put my head down and work. I arrived in Australia with positive feelings, I am open and receptive, let's see what pace we can take, what vibrations reach us."
Yes, I'm still learning how the new car works. The truth is that it's extremely different from the race cars I've driven so far. The Mercedes engine is completely different from the Ferrari transmission, different sensations, different vibrations surround me behind the wheel. That's how this team works: it works completely differently." - how, we'll have a clear picture of that soon.
