168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton has provided a detailed insight into how he is adapting to life as a Ferrari F1 driver.

Hamilton officially started w🎉ork at Ferr♎ari in January and is gearing up for his first season with F1’s most iconic team, having stunned the sporting world 12 months ago by announcing he would leave Mercedes after 12 years to complete a blockbuster switch.

S🐻ince his arrival, the seven-time world champion has been focusing on getting up to speed as quickly as possible ahead of his Ferrari race debut at next month’s season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Speaking to media 𒁏including ltxcn.top, Hamilton acknowledged he has a “huge amount of work to do” 🐎as he explained how he has been acclimatising to a new team and culture.

“I'm still acclimatising - I’ve only been here a month,  so I'm sti𒀰ll acclimatising to a completel🎐y new car, a completely new way of working, but everyone's bent over backwards in this team to make me feel welcome,” Hamilton said.

“And I really feel at homeඣ. I know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. It feels natural. It feels righ🃏t. So I think we've just got to continue to put in the time and take it one step at a time as well.

“Everything does🍬n't have to happen on one day. But of course we have a goal. We have a t𝔉arget, where everyone’s rallying to get there.”

Embedding himself and learning the lingo

Hamilton started his acclima🌺tisation at Ferrari last month and has been frequently visiting the team’s famous Maranello headquarters to get to know his new co🉐lleagues better and familiarise himself with the factory.

Such is his desire to be embedded with the team as much as possible, Hamilton has been stayi🦄ng close to the factory in his motorhome during the week.

Part of the process of embedding himself into Ferrari’s way ༺of life has been learning a new language at the age of 40.

Hamilton, who started racing in Italy in 1997 at the age of 13, was recently heard addressing Ferrari staff in Italian - underl꧅ying his effort 𒐪to connect with the team.

“My dream has always been to be able to speak another language, but I guess when you ar﷽e always in an English-speaking country you’re not forced to, necessarily,” he explained.

“It ꩵmakes it maybe a little bit harder. But it was a language that I loved trying to learn back then and I never qꩲuite finished it.

“I’m slowly getting there. I think consistency is key and that’s why I really love being here at the factory, because I’m getting t♌o practice more and more each day.”

And 🅺Hamilton has wasted no time enjoying Italian cuisine.

“I’ve꧑ had already quite a few pizzas, but somehow🉐 I’ve lost weight. Last week I had three pizzas,” he said with a large grin on his face.

“I love Italian food, I always have. I remembeဣr coming out here when I was racing with Nico [Rosberg] at the time, we used to go💟 out and get gelato every freakin’ night and we used to eat a lot of pizza.

“But I’ll have to watch my diet. That’s going to be hard. I can’t eat pizzas all year long, otherwi🍎se I won’t fit in the car.”

Adapting his driving style

On track, Hamilton has driven Ferrari’s 2023 and 2024 cars in sh♎ort tests in recent weeks.

On Wednesday, the Briton briefly experienced his first taste of the 2025 car, which he will spend a🤪nother one and a half days in during pre-season testing in Bahrain next week before the first race in Melbour⭕ne.

Haꦜmilton, who has ꦐonly driven Mercedes-powered cars throughout his F1 career, has admitted he has been having to adapt his driving style to suit the Ferrari car and engine.

Every element, from getting used to the Ferrari steering wheel and switch settings, pedals, braking system and software, has been part of the challenge facing the former Mercedes drive🦩r.

“I am definitely having to adapt my driving style. It's ꧂rare that you just jump in and it just fits,” he said.

“For example, the steering wheel is completely different. All the switch settings are completely different. The software is different. Not onl♈y with t🌠hat, I'm having to adapt to that.

“I am adapting to a car that's made q✤uite differently to what I've worked with in the past. To achieve the similar sort of thing, the feeling is a lot different.”

‘Elevating every area’

Hamilton believes Ferrari have “absolutely every in♒gredient to win” and is eying adding an elusive and record-breaking eighth world title to his storied F1 career.

This new chapter will present Hamilton, who took 10 races to reach🏅 the top step of the podium with Mercedes, with his biggest task yet, something he is well aware of.

“I know how long it takes to build trust and grow within a team and ꩲgrow with people,” he said.

“I've experienced that with Mercedes, I've experienced that with McLaren.𝓀 And I really cherish the longevity that I had within those places and the bonds that we created in that time. And they don't happen overnight.

“But this step is huge. It couldn't be any bigger. The organisation is massive. The pa🌸ssion adds to it from the fans, from the diversity, from the people within, ✱for that desire to want to win. And you don't want to let people down. You want to be able to deliver on your word.”

Hamilton heads into 2025 reinvigorated, refreshed and with a new mi🎶ndset and clear goal.

“I decided to come into this year, my resolution, my life, my ൩mentality is that okay, I need to💙 elevate in absolutely every area on my side,” he explained.

“It’s not just this is who I am and just got to gel in, I’ve got to elevate in my fitness, my time management, how I engage with my engineers, how m꧟uch time I spend in the factory, all these different things.

꧙“I’ve d꧟efinitely done that and I’m doing that and I will continue to do that in this drive for perfection and to achieve the success that I’m aiming to achieve. But it’s a lot of work, I have to say.

“Fro𒆙m the day you join the team to the first race, it's very short and there's no shortcuts that you can take. And so we're not taking it, we're just putting the work in and we're grafting.

“❀It took me six months in Mercedes to get my first win. I'm doing everything I can to be ready for race one.”
