Hamilton is without a win in F1 since 2021 as Mercedes have struggled since the introduction of new 📖ground effect cars at the start of last year.

Personally, Hamilton enjoyed a strong F1 2023, securing third in the drivers’ championship behind 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sergio Perez.

Speaking at the FIA’s prize-giving🤪 gala on Friday in Baku - where Hamilton was in attendance to collect his trophy for finishing third in the championship - Hamilton spoke about the “very positive” mood at Mer♍cedes.

“The mood is very positive,” he said.💃 “All the members of the team are grateful to have got second in the constructors given the challenges💧 we faced this season. 

“It’s always quite emotional, I’ve been with the team for such a long time, but each 🐼time you go back to Brixworth and Brackley and you’re reminded of how big 🔯the team is pushing you forwards [from] behind. 

“And you see some people who new to the team, that have joined while I’ve been here, some been here way ﷽before, also ome have worked on my engines since my first grand prix i💧n Formula 1.”

While Hamilton has seen Mercedes’ new car - the W15 - he refused to get drawn in about how i🥀t looks currently.

“I think it’s always difficult🦋… I’m not an engineer or designer, you see the car, it’s always an exciting time of year, I have seen the car in the windtunnel, ꦺI always go via the windtunnel,” he added. “To see it evolving in certain directions, whichever direction it ends up going. 

“When I was leaving yesterday again I popped in to see where we were and when I come back it’ll be ওa different animal. 

“I have full faith in everyone working on it and hope we’ll be in a much❀ more competitive position next year.”
