Hamilton endured his worst-ever F1 season in 2022, slumping to sixth in the drivers’ championship after failing to sco▨re a pole position🐭 or race victory.

Mercedes’ W13 was simply not at the level of Ferrari or Red Bull after they found that their unique desig💎n philosophy resulted in a number of unintended issues such as porpoising.

It was a shock for Hamilton, who was very bullish going into the season following his controversial title defeat to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen in 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Abu Dhabi.

Ahead of last season, he sa🧔id: “If you think what🙈 you saw at the end of last year was my best, wait till you see this year.”

12 months on, Hamiltꩲon has a more cautious approach.

"Different, definitely different,” Hamilton said after the launch ꧑of Mercedes’ W14. “I’ve had a great break and a great journey with my family and I feel very refreshed after the time off. 

“It’s a really exciting day, to see the car come together this past week, and🉐 get to drive it again this we♉ek, for the first time. 

“I won’t be as bullish as last year, I would say I’m more cautious, that whatever we’re faced with, we have the bꦰest team to deal with whatever we come across. 

“Hopefully we’ll hit the ground r🌟unning but it’s not a♊lways the case and I think we showed last year that whatever we’re faced with, we can recover, so that’s what we’ll try to do this year.”

Hamilton will be in action when pre-season testing gets underway on Thursday in Ba♉hrain.
