Anger, frustration, tiredness, adrenaline there are so many things that go through the mind of a pilot who, as if coming out of apnea, takes off his helmet to talk about what happened on the track. Lewis Hamilton he is one of the most appreciated and discussed pilots of the last generations. His talent goes hand in hand with a strong personality, on which he has built a great career.
A difficult start
With the first failures however, after years of prestige and victories, that pressure, which characterizes those who usually want to assert themselves but cannot, has returned to make itself felt. There Mercedes he's facing a difficult period and while we're already in the sixth round of the season, the light at the end of the tunnel still seems far away. The choice lies in continuing to believe in a wrong project, or in abandoning it to concentrate all resources on 2023.
To complicate things for Lewis, a young driver also arrived, George Russell, constant since the beginning of the season despite one car much less competitive of the top two powers in the league.
On the occasion of the press conference preceding the weekend in Spain George Russell said: “Finishing in the top 5 in every race gives consistency, but our goal is victory. But Red Bull e Ferrari they have another step. Let's see the situation, I think it will be interesting for us this weekend even if we don't have the magic wand"
So what are the prospects for the two pilots? “Prospects, I don't know – he said Hamilton at a press conference in Barcelona – every time I hope they are good and as a team we are doing our best and I am proud of the team. The car was different from the tests and will be useful for comparison. Even then there was porpoising and it will be interesting to see the improvements.”

The outburst on the team
We have seen him fight with Toto wolff in the pits, let off steam on the radio teams. But what Lewis Hamilton is going through now is absolutely normal and understandable. An outburst can happen, especially when there is no way out. It's part of the game, and since the car doesn't work, the only foothold to hope for is in the hopes and work of the entire team.
“The messages in Miami on team strategy? I have no problems with strategy, we had some bad luck – Lewis said – but I don't think it's easy for the spectators to understand what happens in the car, with a very high heartbeat. Just as it is difficult to understand some scenarios, other than when you are calm. And you don't always answer in a 'normal' way, but I think it also shows how much passion there is" .
