Lewis Hamilton: “Great first date, probably the best”

Lewis Hamilton declared it was probably one of the best first outings he has ever had in a Formula 1 car, following his first day with new W10. “It was a great first date, probably one of the best ones that we’ve had in all these years,” said Hamilton. “But what has been most impressive is seeing the car coming together last night, which is always impressive to see. And then to see how smooth today has gone. “There are things we can continue to work on, but so many people worked tirelessly to pull this car together, and to see it come to the test and go out, get through the programme we needed to and get the filming done is great. https://twitter.com/MercedesAMGF1/status/1095783702074966017 “For me, it is crazy, because I have been racing a long long time, it’s my seventh year with the team, but the excitement I had today was the same I had when I first got in an F1 car, which is really weird and I was not expecting that.” Mercedes did not release any details about the shakedown, however, it is clear from what they did put out that Hamilton loved every moment of it.
