We're just hours away from the start of the 2025 F1 season and the first practice session for the Australian Grand Prix. This will undoubtedly be one of the most special experiences of someone's life, and that person is none other than Lewis Hamilton.
Given the situation, many would think there's a fair amount of pressure on Hamilton's shoulders, but he has tried to dispel those doubts:
"I think the pressure I've always put on myself throughout my career has been ten times greater than anything that's come from outside. So I can safely say that it's not others putting the real pressure on me now either. I have huge expectations of myself: I know what I'm capable of, I know how I can perform. That just requires work, putting my head down and working. I came to Australia feeling good, I'm open and receptive, let's see what pace we can adopt, what vibes surround us.
Yes, I'm still learning how the new car works. The truth is, it's completely different from any racing car I've driven before. The Mercedes engine is very different from the Ferrari engine; there are different sensations, different vibrations that surround me behind the wheel. That's how this team is: it works completely differently." - about how we'll soon get a live image.
