Hamilton endured his worst-ever F1 season in 2022, slum💙ping to sixth in the drivers’ championship after failing to score 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 design 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 said: “If you think what you saw at the end of laꦑst year was my best, w𓆏ait till you see this year.”

12 month⛦s on, Hamilton has a more cautiou✨s approach.

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

“It’s a really exciting day, to see the car come together this past week, and get to drive it again this week, for the f🐬irst time.&nb🧸sp;

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

“Hopefull🌳y we’ll hit the ground running but it’s not always th🅷e 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 underꦑ✨way on Thursday in Bahrain.
