If Hamilton wins the title in 2018, he considers that this title will be "The best of all"

If Hamilton wins the title in 2018, he considers that this title will be "The best of all, as it will have a more significant value." This is what the British rider said in words given to the Motorsport.com portal in a start of the season where, until now, he has been suffering the consequences of the lack of knowledge of Pirelli 2018 tyres on the part of his team, Mercedes, which has greatly favoured teams such as Ferrari and RedBull, his closest rivals on the prowl of the German manufacturer's dominance since the start of the new era of V6 Turbo Hybrid Engines.

"Obviously our targets have not changed, but we are sure since last Grand Prix week that we are no longer the fastest on track" said a Lewis Hamilton who acknowledges that today Mercedes is not the team that made the best progress during the winter.

However, Hamilton brings hope for improvement

"We don't know what awaits us this season. If the course continues in this way, it will be very difficult for us to win. But if there is a chance and we end up winning the title, it will mean much more than the previous ones, because what is certain is that this season is more difficult than the previous ones" he confessed.

Despite a few comments, the four-time champion is already pushing hard

A few days ago, in a statement to Channel 4 in the UK, former British rider David Coulthard, analysing the situation of his compatriot, said: "He was a little confused because even his team-mate, Valtteri Bottas, was ahead of him, as Lewis was at the bottom in the management of Pirelli tyres up to this point of the season". However, Hamilton says, "Although a lot of performance has been lost in the first three races and we're not the fastest at the moment, I've been pushing our guys (James Vowles, James Allison, Niki Lauda and Toto Wolff) a lot in order to encourage them. They know the areas where the car is suffering most, and by maintaining constructive pressure on them, I try to improve the situation. Although, well, they are already under pressure because they want to win as much as I do, so we have to improve, and I don't think it's impossible" concluded the four-time Formula 1 world champion.
