Lewis Hamilton has been dazzling F1 circuits for a long time and has piloted numerous vehicles. The turbo hybrid era belonged solely to him, and despite the fact that Mercedes has fallen behind due to the new regulations, Hamilton considers this year’s car to be the most difficult of his career.
As reported by racingnews365, he stated to the media after the qualifying session of the Singapore Grand Prix, “It’s the hardest car I’ve ever driven to get correct. In addition, while discussing the remainder of the season, he stated, “At this point in the season, I believe you’re always digging as deeply as possible without exhausting yourself naturally.”
