๐ Driving Style Secrets Episode 5: Lewis Hamilton
🕑 Added 2025-06-05 09:21:47 +0000 UTCSeven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is the latest driver in the spotlight in our Driving Style Secrets series, made exclusively for members.
In this episode, Edd Straw and Mark Hughes explore the driving style that has brought Hamilton so much success, and explain why aspects of his technique that used to be such strengths have been muted by the unique characteristics of the current generation of cars.
They also debate whether Hamilton - so adaptable in the past - will ever be able to truly adapt to ground effect machinery, or whether his extensive 'muscle memory' will forever prevent him from reaching the incredible heights he once did.

I am very much enjoying this series. My question (that I am likely to ask in another venue) is whether you think the TD on flexible front wings that took effect in Spain would have hurt Hamiltonโs driving style particularly? I can only wonder this given Hamilton finally started looking competitive in a GE car after Mercedes put the upgraded front wing on his car with the wins at Silverstone and Spa.
