Lewis Hamilton joined the Mercedes F1 team a decade ago – but how much has he changed in that time? The team's trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin opens up on the changes he's seen in the seven-time world champion ⬇️
But what is notably different between the current seven-time world champion and the driver who joined the squad back in 2013 as a single title winner is his approach.
“If you can get the car where he needs it to be, we know far and well what he’s capable of. And, yeah, we’ve worked with each other for sufficiently long enough that we can have whatever conversations need to be had. “He’s very familiar with all the people within the team and he knows where to go to ask questions and give feedback. Ultimately, it’s a problem that we’ll all solve together.”
“But, ultimately, if he finds an area that he thinks he’s not good enough at, he just solves it by hard work. Shovlin adds: “In the early part of the year, there’s no doubt, whether you’re talking about Toto’s relationship with the engineering team or engineering’s relationship with Lewis, there was quite a lot of stress and pressure and anxiety, and difficult conversations, because we simply hadn’t done anywhere near a good enough job.
