The livery of the automotive is kind of completely different, because the well-known silver has gained prominence. However the important factor is that they’ve radically modified the idea of the automotive.
As everybody is aware of, the W13 and W14 weren’t single-seaters that gave them victories. In truth, they’ve solely gained one race within the final two seasons. And the one which sealed the victory was George Russell at Interlagos (in 2022).
However again to Lewis. He is aware of that his final dance with the Silver Arrows group will likely be an emotional marketing campaign.
“I’ve all the time beloved working with the group,” Hamilton mentioned. “I believe significantly when there’s so many individuals, it is such an enormous group that is within the background.
“It is all about excessive efficiency, this machine that we’re constructing and that carries us throughout the road. With out all of these individuals within the background working so extremely arduous as they do, we won’t ever get to the place we should be.
“So it is nice after we all have a typical widespread objective. And we’re all targeted on that the entire 12 months, so it is an actual privilege.”

“I believe we have had this troublesome couple of years which has been actually grounding for us. It is helped us to regroup, re-look at issues and it is now simply going via the essential course of, being actually diligent with our work, understanding that information and understanding the automotive.”
