LEWIS: I AM READY FOR THE FIGHT
Reigning champion Lewis Hamilton says he will aim to have a perfect season in his quest for an historic fifth Formula 1 title. The Mercedes man became the first Briton to land four world titles after a successful campaign in 2017, when he won nine of the twenty races and overtook Michael Schumacher’s record for the most career pole positions set. The Mercedes has yet to show its true potential in testing, but the team is excited about the 2018 car, the W09, and its prospects. Hamilton will be going toe-to-toe with Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel for a fifth crown. The two will match up to each other in this weekend’s opening race, the Australian Grand Prix. Hamilton said: “There were twenty races last year and I didn’t win every single one. In hindsight, I could have set the car up better or performed a little bit better. That inspires me to improve for this year.”
