Lewis Hamilton Calendar 2023

It's no secret in F1 that Hamilton and Mercedes both feel that they were robbed of their dues at Yas Marina that day.

Joining what was very much a celebratory post-race assessment the Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, was also optimistic of the impact it would have on the potential US audience. It’s good just to be consistent to be out there fighting for a podium now, relatively consistently,” Hamilton told Sky F1. “That’s fantastic for us. Definitely we have taken a step forwards. Over these next four races, I can’t predict which one we’re going to be closer, which one we may or may not be further away. We were close here last year. So hopefully we will be a little bit closer maybe this weekend. If we get the strategy right this weekend maybe we can really take the fight to them.”I still feel like I can improve every weekend. That's what I love about this sport - you will never reach perfection but the pursuit of perfection is about one of the best things you can do." Senna's rivalry with Alain Prost in the late 80s to early 90s galvanized the sport, while stars like Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton have helped F1 become the global powerhouse it is today.

I was particularly impressed with owner Lawrence Stroll’s team. They brought an update that worked straight away. Hamilton, 38, will never forget what happened in Abu Dhabi, and he explained last year how tough it had been. I wouldn't mind, it doesn't matter, anyone [can be my team-mate]. I don't want to particularly put it on Lewis, there are so many great drivers as well. Sometimes it doesn't work out like that."In the post-race scrum, Hamilton did suggest that his latest podium result could have been a little flattering because if dry weather had initially been in place for qualifying, Ferrari would have been more of a threat. I have never had a millimetre of doubt about Lewis’s driving and I have told him [that] more often than he wanted to hear it. On Sunday you saw it. It was just the perfect drive.” The 38-year-old's Mercedes contract was set to expire at the end of this season before he signed a new two-year deal in August after protracted negotiations. For all those who said it was all about the show, Vegas proved them wrong,” Hamilton said. “The race was great, it was one of the best races. There have been so many people who have been negative about the show and all that – but just let it be, see how it goes and it was huge.”

I'm not really a revenge person," Hamilton said. "It's not about redemption. That's in the past. There's nothing we can do about the past. On Thursday at Monza, just after the new two-year deal was announced, Hamilton said "trying to win more world championships" was the reason for staying in F1. No one - least of all Hamilton and the team themselves - had any reason to think that the wholesale rewriting of the technical rules for 2022, and the reintroduction of ground effect, would leave them so far off the pace.When the lines between personal and professional blur: Danish detective Rolf Larsen will stop at nothing
