Lewis Hamilton hails Mercedes' F1 2023 approach - 'Not a team that copies'
Mercedes’ have carried over several concepts pioneered with their troubled W13 to their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:new W14 contender, including their unique narrow sidepods, as they look to extract untapped potential from a difficult 2022 campaign heading into the new season.&n﷽bsp;
In contrast, many teams’ 2023 designs have adopted a clea𓆏r convergence towards the philosophy favoured by Red Bull, who dominated b𝓰oth world championships last year.
But Hamilton said he is proud Mercede☂s are keeping the fait🎃h in their bold design approach.
“I don’t believe we’ve ever been a team that copied other people,” the seven-tim✃e world champion said.
“We’ve always been of our own mind an𓆏d always been a team that’s incredibly creative and innovative and like to do it our way. I think that’s worked in the past.
“You see some of the cars are converging to what Red Bull, perhaps, will look like, except from Ferrari. Last year we arrived and were like ‘dam🉐n that looks quic🔯k’, and then it wasn’t with all the issues we had.
“Then🐻 coming into another season with a car that’s kind of similar looking in many respects, because a lot of the ele💮ments are difficult to change. But you’ve got to have confidence in the engineers, and I do.
"We’re sticking with it, we’re going with it, and I hope when we get in it has the characteristi🅰cs that we’ve asked for. But if not we will find a way.
“I think 🌠the job of the engineers and the drivers is to come up with solutions. We’re prepared for ‘what i𓆏f?’.
“The difficult thing is you do🔴n’t have a crystal ball, so you never know what is up ahead. All you can do is prepare yourself and be present and work diligently towards solving whatever issue it is.”
