Lewis Hamilton has silenced the critics while leading a frantic life out of the paddock, the Mercedes driver has raised his level of general play to beat Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari.
“Honestly, I have progressed everywhere. I have this ability since very young. Since I’m in F1, I have this ability to drive like I do today, but of course every year you try to raise your level and so you have to work in all areas – on your preparation , on your state of mind, on your performance in the car according to your feelings.” Hamilton said.
“How to learn how to balance the car, weigh the pros and cons, the risks and the opportunities, etc. How to communicate with your close collaborators, to extract the best of them? You ask yourself all these questions.
“All this is very important. I have some people who are very closely associated with my work. I have to make sure to keep their motivation high. If they see that I’m on a grand prix to win – sometimes you can be in a bad mood at a bad time because we are all human beings – it can really make a difference during your weekend.
“For me, I have to be the most concentrated in the car. I have never been in such good physical shape and I have more energy than ever. This is partly due, I think, to my vegetarian diet. It’s fantastic, I’m so happy. I would have liked to adopt it well before.” Hamilton added.
Hamilton obviously progressed and became a more complete driver. The Briton finished fourth place in Mexico Grand Prix last weekend to secure his fifth title.
“It was a special year. I was able to bet on my creativity, and there is only positive in that. Naturally people will have opinions, for or against you.” Hamilton said.

“What is certain – even if I do not do everything perfectly, even if I don’t always say what is right – is that everything I do, defines the man I am. Only I can live my life, no one but me can direct it. I try to do what is best for me.
“Having these opportunities to do other things keeps my brain awake, and this knowledge is a powerful asset. So naturally when you learn new things, when you experience new things, you gain knowledge, as you travel around the world.” Hamilton added.
