Hamilton: “That will be the biggest challenge this season”


Where a Formula 1 season nowadays has about twenty races, the drivers are expected to do this year with ‘only’ a race of fifteen to eighteen. For the time being, eight races have been confirmed, but more are expected to come soon.

The program will therefore include a minimum of eight races in ten weekends in the coming months. Take that along with the fact that there will be fewer races in total this season, and you’re in for quite a challenge, according to reigning Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton.

“One of the biggest challenges is to keep performing constantly. In a normal season you have twenty to twenty two races spread over a long period of time. Normally you have more rest periods between the Grand Prix weekends, during which you can relax and charge it, after which you can hit it again. “

“However, this year is slightly different,” Hamilton continues to Mercedes sponsor Petronas. “We now have group races, as it were, with performance becoming even more crucial than usual in every race. To do this, you have to be healthy and fit to be able to pop every round. Every moment becomes even more important, the importance of an individual race is now even bigger, “said the six-time world champion.

Will we have the titanic battle between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton? Can we even smooth out Ferrari? These and other questions are discussed in detail in the latest podcast of RacingNews365 with F1 journalist Ruud Dimmers, race car driver Tom Coronel and host Thomas van Groningen, which can be heard below.
