F1 | Hamilton wants equality between the teams

He may be a four-time world champion but Lewis Hamilton he is determined to prove that he is the strongest pilot, fighting on equal terms with the other pilots.

The Englishman concluded this week's tests in Barcelona with the best time and Mercedes seems to be the favorite team to win the constructors' championship, despite the competition being fiercer than ever with Ferrari and Red Bull.

“The closer you are, the more rewarding it is when you win -commented The Hammer- you want the others to be at the same level as you, so as to demonstrate that there are only small differences between the other riders".

Hamilton beat Sebastian Vettel and when asked if he plans to exploit his rival's weaknesses, he stated:

“Honestly I don't focus much on others, I think about myself and my mentality. If I'm at my full potential, then I shouldn't have any problems. This is my approach. If I prepare in the best way, I'm fitter, I have more energy and I feel good, that's the right approach, to work hard. And that's what the other riders think too. Even in tennis, if you ask Roger Federer, he will tell you that if he is well trained, there is no one who can beat him.".

This will be the tactic of Lewis Hamilton for 2018:

“So I don't prepare and hope that my opponent has some problems so I can capitalize. I want him to be at his full potential because it will be more painful for him when I beat him.".
