Lewis Hamilton more ambitious

Lewis Hamilton has not yet won a victory this season but knows how to remain patient. Convinced that sooner or later he will have an opportunity to win, the Briton is calm. And why not a success in Istanbul next weekend? If he doesn't talk about victory, Lewis Hamilton knows that he will be able to express himself more on this circuit than in the streets of Monaco, where the last Grand Prix took place.

« I can't wait to be in Türkiye, says the Briton. We left Monaco with an honest result but the MP4-25 was not very well suited to a narrow and bumpy circuit like this. On a circuit like Istanbul Park, our car will be in its element again. She loves fast and homogeneous circuits, on which the aero can express itself through long and fast turns. It should be fantastic to drive there. »

If the World Champion's optimism is not excessive, he believes in his chances of doing well in Turkey. “ Looking at the features of this tour, we can expect to pick up where we left off in Spain. We are not deluding ourselves but we believe we are capable of achieving another good result and we hope to fight with the leading cars. »

Appreciated for his aggressive driving style, Lewis Hamilton does not appreciate being questioned about his management of tire wear, a strong point of his teammate, Jenson Button. “ I was asked if tire wear could be a problem this season, especially with the full fuel load. I think our car has always behaved well in the corners at high speed and knows how to save its tires during the race. So I don't see any particular problems. »
