He admitted he doesn’t know exactly what challenges or changes lie ahead in the season because he is unsure about it. Despite this uncertainty, he is focused on preparing as thoroughly as possible to handle whatever comes his way.

I Think we’ll see over the course of the rest of the year. I definitely would say my body language and energy has definitely felt a shift in the past week. I’m still unsure of what’s up ahead, and I’m just trying to prepare the best I can for it.

I guess it just ultimately shows that anything is possible. You just need to keep pushing, keep going. There’s going to be turbulence up ahead, I’m sure, but also the possibility of good days.

The seven-time-world champion said while they have a better car it’s still uncertain how competitive they will be in the specific conditions of the upcoming weekend’s race.

We have a much better race car now compared to last year, so I don’t know where exactly we’ll be competitive on this weekend
Lewis Hamilton expressed

Hamilton acknowledged that Red Bull has a slight advantage over them. He mentioned Mercedes would find out more about their standing in the upcoming race. Despite this, he noted that their race car’s performance had significantly improved compared to earlier races. This meant their car was faster and handled better than it had in the past, which could have helped them compete more effectively against their rivals.

Red Bull still has the slight edge on us, but we’ll find out I guess tomorrow. And then, yeah, we have a much better race pace than we have had in the past
Lewis Hamilton added

Certainly, Lewis Hamilton is optimistic about the upcoming races as their car is more reliable now compared to past races.
