Hamilton segue positivo apesar de enfrentar seu começo mais difícil em uma temporada de Fórmula 1 em 2024.

Lewis Hamilton, the British driver for Mercedes AMG F1, remains optimistic about the team’s future despite a disappointing start to the 2024 Formula 1 season. Hamilton retired from the Australian Grand Prix, marking Mercedes’ worst start to a season since 2012. Both Mercedes cars failed to finish the race, resulting in the team’s lowest points total in the first three races of a campaign. Hamilton, who finished seventh and ninth in previous races, qualified in 11th place at Albert Park and started on soft compound tires. Despite his early pit stop, Hamilton supports Mercedes’ decision to take an aggressive approach to progress. He was catching up to the cars ahead of him before his engine failed. Hamilton received no warning about the power unit failure. Despite the setbacks, Hamilton remains positive and grateful for the time he has spent with the team. He is looking forward to the future and believes Mercedes will recover and achieve success through perseverance.

Mercedes entered the 2024 season with optimism, believing that their redesigned W15 car had successfully addressed the rear-end issues of its predecessor. However, Lewis Hamilton, the team’s star driver, has struggled to accept that the engineers have failed to overcome these challenges under the new ground effect regulations.

Hamilton expressed his disappointment, stating that it is disheartening for the whole team after so much work during the winter. They had hoped to be competitive and fight for victories, but the reality did not meet their expectations. Instead, they find themselves settling for second or third place, which has a negative impact on morale.

Despite the setbacks, Hamilton remains inspired by the dedication and effort of his colleagues. He acknowledges that they continue to show up and give their best, which he considers the most important aspect of his work.

Hamilton has been struggling with the unpredictability of handling the W15 car, making it difficult for him to deliver consistent performances throughout a race weekend. He describes this as the worst start to a season in his career, even worse than when McLaren went from champions to a back-of-the-grid team in 2009.

However, Hamilton attributes his ability to deal with the current setback to his experience in the sport. He has learned to adopt a more relaxed approach and focus on the bigger picture. He understands that he cannot control everything and that getting frustrated will not change the situation. Instead, he chooses to let go and be in the present moment, hoping for a better day and working hard to improve.
