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 moments in someone's life, and that someone is Lewis Hamilton.
Given the situation, many might think that Hamilton is under a fair amount of pressure, but he tried to dispel these doubts:
"I think the pressure I put on myself throughout my career has always been ten times greater than anything that came from outside. So I can say with certainty that now it's not someone else who puts the real pressure on me. I have huge expectations of myself: I know what I'm capable of, I know how I can express myself. For that, all you need is work, putting your head down and working. I came to Australia with good feelings, I'm open and receptive, let's see what pace we can take, what vibrations surround us.
Yes, I am still learning how the new car works. The truth is that it is extremely different from the racing cars I have been able to drive in the past. The Mercedes engine is completely different from the Ferrari transmission, the sensations and vibrations that surround me behind the wheel are different. This team also works in a completely different way." - how, we will soon find out in action.
