Hamilton believes Mugello will serve up "shock and surprise"

Hamilton believes Mugello will serve up "shock and surprise"

Ian Parkes & Ewan Gale

Lewis Hamilton believes Mugello will serve up "shock and surprise" when he savours it for the first time in practice for the Tuscan Grand Prix.

Formula 1 makes its debut at the circuit this weekend after adding the Ferrari-owned track to a calendar depleted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Six-time world champion Hamilton is relishing the challenge of learning a circuit that many of his rivals have described as awesome.

Hamilton, though, opted not to undertake a track walk on Thursday to assess the issues that might lie ahead, declaring: "I like seeing it for the first time when I get out there. It is usually a shock and surprise at the same time.

"I will definitely enjoy the learning process of this track and the challenges we will face, but I can't tell you if it is a great track yet."

With the prospect of the Tuscan Grand Prix being a one-off spectacle in the sport as it is hoped the situation will return to normal for 2021, a win for Hamilton would add another statistic to his name as the only driver to win an F1 race at the venue.

But the Mercedes driver has dismissed such a potential accolade as it would just "be another race" to him.

"I am not someone for records so it wouldn't mean much really," he explained.

"Honestly, I have got so many races I have done so it would just be another race. I don't look at those tallies."
