British racing driver who races in Formula 1 (F1), Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he changes his driving style yearly in order to improve his performance level.
Allnews reports that in a recent joint interview with his Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, Hamilton was asked by Sky F1’s Martin Brundle what there was left to achieve given his incredible run of success over the past six years with Mercedes-AMG Petrona.
The response of a man considered by some to be the greatest of all-time was emphatic. “You can always improve,” he said.
“We didn’t win every race last year – there are areas that we stumbled and there are so many elements [in winning].
“There’s always areas we can improve.
"As a driver, how I can improve communication with my team and mechanics and the guys back at the factory? But also as a driver, [how can I] deliver better performances?”
“So it’s not technique, you’re not going to change the way you go about driving the race car,” Brundle says – something Hamilton immediately corrects.
“Every year I do. Every year, and even through the season the technique’s evolving.
"This year for example, we’ve got the same tyres as last year, but last year, the whole year was an issue [with the tyres], so there’s still subtle techniques which I’m going to have to adapt, with also a different car.

“And that’s part of the game, is being able to be adaptive. And we’ve got this new car – I don’t know how it’s going to handle, hopefully she’s great.”
