Lewis Hamilton reveals his key F1 attribute which has changed in past 15 years
Fifteen years later, Hamilton is a seven-time F1 champion with more gไra෴nd prix victories than anybody.
He insists that his first British Gra♏nd Prix win in 2008 - earned amid dreadful conditions - was down to “raw ability 🍸and talent”.
But he told : “As you travel the world and grow older, you learn so much more than you can💫 never k💯now until you get there.
“You can’t even imagine what you’re going to know in 10 years’ time. How much more efficient you can be with your time, how you apply yourself, how you𓄧 are able to engage with people🍎 differently.
“I’m a much better team pla🐠yer than I was back then.
“I am able to galvanise a large group of people, and energy, and channel it. And still, hopefully,꧒ have that raw edge talent.
“I would say then I took a lot more riꦫsk than I do today.
“Back then I couldn’t comprehend… if I took a risk, I felt how it would impact me, not how it would impac♚t the team of 1,000 or 2,000 people.
“Now I know, the thiꦚngs I do, who it iꦍmpacts and how important it is.
“So you have to 𒆙think about the decisions you make with better under🍸standing.”
Hamilton en🌺ters this weekend’s F1 Hungarian Grand Prix not only trying to claw closer to the dominant Red Bulls, but possibly even McLaren.
McLaren excelled last time out at Silverstone in their upgraded car and now represent a new test that Mercedes must ta🔯ckle in Budapest.
