January is a month of energy and I do everything I can to get the momentum going. This is the time to challenge yourself and go after it.

One of Hamilton’s checkpoints for 2024 will be to finally achieve his 104th win in F1. The Briton has not won since 2021, despite scoring multiple podium finishes since then, unable to extend his record for all-time wins though he did get a lucrative paycheck.
