Formule-1 : Hamilton Celebrates New Formula 1 Era Despite Rival Complaints

Lewis Hamilton shines amidst criticism of Formula 1's new era. The seven-time world champion beams after finishing fourth at the Australian Grand Prix, just behind teammate Charles Leclerc. While rivals like Max Verstappen and Lando Norris voice their frustrations over the 2026 cars, Hamilton embraces the change. “I personally loved it,” he declares, highlighting the fun of driving the new machine.

Hamilton's race showcases his strong start, navigating Turn 1's tightness to stay competitive. He notes, “I had good pace... a couple more laps and I would have had Charles.” Despite the positive performance, Hamilton acknowledges Ferrari's need for more speed on straights compared to Mercedes' W17. “We’ve just got to keep pushing,” he insists, as the team focuses on upgrades and development. Hamilton's optimistic take contrasts sharply with the paddock's mixed reactions, signaling a different perspective on the sport's evolution.
