Hamilton spoke about the difficulties in the first race for Ferrari. The pilot Ferrari summed up the results advised by sport news of the Australian Grand Prix and admitted that he wanted to stay on the slick highway at the end of the race and wait for short-term rain. However, the precipitation lasted, but the team did not give the rider the information.
According to Lewis, one of the main problems for him was the lack of rolling and the experience of Bolid Ferrari, which was greatly affected by the changeable weather:
I think that it was a matter of confidence for me. From the moment I got behind the wheel of a car on Friday, I did not have this confidence. Especially in high -speed areas - there I lost the most.
Then Saturday came, confidence began to return. I gradually increased it and increased. And then the time of the race came and everything again had to start from scratch, so that for most of the race I did not feel confidence in driving a car, especially with such settings, the machine was very difficult to control. She often broke her, I almost crashed into the walls.
Hamilton commented on the decision to stay on the slick on the slick after the resumption of the rain, when the competitors went to boxes for intermediate tires:
All departures from the highway occurred on the third sector. I managed to keep the car. So I just overtook people, and after the starting line, the trajectory on the highway was generally dry. And I thought that I could hold out a few circles. But then a real rain began and two circles lasted.
The team said that the rain would be very short, and I thought that I could hold out, because half of the highway remained dry. But they did not tell me that a new charge of rain was approaching, and then he suddenly went with renewed vigor. So, ultimately, the problem, I think, was simply in a lack of incoming information.
Lewis also told how the first joint Grand Prix with the new racing engineer Riccardo Adams went to him:
I think that Riccardo did a great job. We are gradually learning to work together, we all get to know each other better. We will definitely go through the race, discuss all the comments, analyze what I told him and vice versa.
In general, I belong to the type of riders who do not like to receive a huge amount of information along the race, only if I need it and I ask something myself. Riccardo has worked well today and we will continue to move forward.
