Hamilton driving style is constantly 'evolving'

Lewis Hamilton says "you can always improve" despite winning over half of the grands prix to take place since the switch to the V6 turbo hybrid power units.

Champion in five of the past six years, Hamilton still feels that there is still room for improvement.

“You can always improve,” said Hamilton in a Sky Sports F1 feature with team boss Toto Wolff. “We didn’t win every race last year – there are areas that we stumbled and there are so many elements.

“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?"

Hamilton added that the differing car characteristics between years mean that he is constantly adjusting his driving style.

“Every year, and even through the season the technique’s evolving," continued Hamilton. "This year for example we’ve got the same tyres as last year, but last year, the whole year was an issue, 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.”
