168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton madeﷺ reference to his personal life to demonstrate his ongoing dedication to Formula 1.

Hamilton has completed the three-day pre-season test at Bahrain, his first official F1 sessions in a Ferrari.

His switch from Mercedes ended a th🌠ree-year spell without a competitive car, but was also the exit from the team which helped him to six of his seven drivers’ championships.

At Ferrari, Hamilton can eclipse Michael🐠 Schumacher 🦩if he wins an eighth title.

Age is an opponent, though. Hamilton is 40-years-old, and only Fernando Alonso is♔ older on the current F1🦄 grid.

But Hamilton insi🦂sts that comparisons to Alonso, or anybody, are u🀅nfounded.

Lewis Hamilton denies comparison to F1 rivals

“I’m the first💃 and only Black driver that’s ever been in this sport. I’m built different,” 🏅he told TIME.

“I’ve🐼 been through a lot. I’ve had my own journey. You can’t compare me to another 40-year-old, past or present, Formula One driver 🎐in history.

"Because they are nothing like me. I’m hu꧙ngry, driven, don’t have a wife and kids.

“I’m focused on one thing,🥂 and that’s winning. That’s my No. 1 priority.”

He added: “The old man is a state of mind. O🌄f course your body ages. But I’m never going to be an old man.”

Ha♚milton’s new contract with Ferrari will take him, at least, 🎃into the 2026 season.

F1’s new engine regulations begin next year, creating an opport꧅unity for every team to build an era of dominance.

Whoever best interprets th🦋e new rules could find themselves with the fastest car for several years, like Red Bull recently or Hamilton’s Mercedes beforeha🐓nd.

Hamಌilton plans to be around to find out if Ferrari can be that te🙈am.

“What I can tell you is, retirement🉐 is nowhere on my radar,” says Hamilton.

“I could be here until I’m 50, who knows.”

Hamilton calls Max Verstaꦬppen, his rival who is seeking a fifth drivers’ title in a row in 2026, “absolutely” beatable.

He added: “I know exactly where the North Star isඣ. I know wh💧ere I need to go.

“I know ho💙w to get there. It’s far, and it’s going to be tough to get there, but I know I’ve got all the ingredients, all th💮e people, an amazing team around me.

“So it’s how much you wa𝐆nt it. An🧜d I can’t express to you how much I want it.”
