Williams boss James Vowles has likened 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to “an octopus all oveꦛr the wheel” when detailing why the seven-time world champion is “incredible”.

Vowles worked alongside Hamilton during six of the British driver’s tไitle🌞 triumphs in the hybrid era.

Before joining Williams as their team principal, Vowles was Mercedes’ head of strategy and was seen as one of their most senior figu🉐res alongside Toto Wolff.

Speaking on the H﷽igh Performance Podcast, Vowles explained why Hamilton has a clear edge over his competitors.

“Lewis just had these oodles of natural talent,” he said. “With him he's got these𝓀 tendencies♓ and traits where, if you go out in FP1 he's like an octopus all over the wheel.

“He'll change every setting 🌺on the wheel and explore. It's what makes him incredible.🌱”

To emphasise how talented Hamilton is behind an F🅠1 car, Vowles shared a story of how he got the upper hand over former teammate Nico Rosberg at Interlagos.

"There💮 was a time on simulation in Brazil it said 'go into 7th gear up the hill' and within two la𝓡ps Nico was doing exactly what we asked him to do,” he added.

“With Lewis, he went back down to sixth and he was finding a tenth there. It took until the end of the session before Nico saw the dat♉a.

"He's [Hamilton] this optimiser where he'll use the data as a starting ground, but he's got a feel beyond anything else 🔯for it. He's got no issues exploring the boundaries. That originally manifested itself when he would often go off at Turn 1.

“He would fin🔥d the absolute limit of braking and it would push him wide at Turn 1, then ജabort the lap.”
