168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has described his switch to Ferrari as the “most exciting period of my life” ahead of his first F1 ra🍬ce with the team at the season-opening Au𝔍stralian Grand Prix.

18 years🌠 on from his F1 debut with McLaren, ꦐHamilton will embark on the next chapter of his legendary career.

Unsurprisingly, Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has dominated the F1 headlines throughout ♛the off-season.

Every part of Hamilton’s preparation with Ferrari has been scrutinised, from his first visit to Maran🍃ello to his first shakedown.

Hamilton’s switch from Mercedes has seemingly given him a new le꧟ase of life 🐬after a difficult 2024 campaign.

Speaking🌌 ahead of the first race in Australia in the FIA press conference, Hamilton described the new challenge of racing for a different team as “exciting and challenging.”

“As I said a ✃while ago, I am still learning this new car. It’s quite a lot different to what I am used to in my previous car in terms of Mercedes power coming into Ferrari power,” Hamilton said 🎃on Thursday. 

“It’s something quite new, different vibration. Different way of working. The whole team works completely differently. I was just sitting and looking at the race trace from last year and it’s upside down compared to the previous ones so I am looking at it… the same for you? (to Sainz, 𒁃alongside him) I don’t understand it at all.

“Looking at things from a different perspective makes🉐 it exciting and challenging. This is the most exciting period of my life so I am really just enjoying it. I am so excited to get in the car tomorrow.”

Hamilton dismisses pressure talk

Hamilt♛on’s💙 switch to Ferrari brings together the sport’s most successful driver and team.

As a result, expectations are high, par๊ticularly as Ferrari end♎ed last year as the second-fastest team.

Ferrari narrowly misse𝔍d out on t🥂he 2024 F1 constructors’ championship, finishing just 14 points behind McLaren at the end of the season.

However, Hami🃏lton batted away any talk of additional pressure driving for Ferrari.

“I think always through the years the pressure I put on myself has always been ten times higheꦐr than any other pressu൲re put upon me.

“I have not joined this𝔉 team and been made to feel any pressure. I have an expectation on myself. I know what I can bring. I know what I can deliver. I know what it’s going to take to do that and it’s just getting your head down, working away.

“I come with a very open mind coming into this weekend. It is about getting into a se🌊ason,ไ into a good rhythm.”

Ham🧸ilton has an impressive record at Albert Park over the years, taking pole position at every race between 2014 and 2019.
