I don’t prepare myself and then hope that the next guy has issues so I can capitalise on them. I want him to be at his best because then it’s more painful for them when you do out-perform them

“So I don’t prepare myself and then hope that the next guy has issues so I can capitalise on them, I want him to be at his best because then it’s more painful for them when you do out-perform them.”
While he faced a number of questions about the coming season, Hamilton says his mind is not yet on his title defence even though he acknowledges the importance of the work done during testing.
“Collectively I’ve done less than a day in the car. My mindset is not really like ‘this is the start to getting the next championship’ - although it is - it’s really just about learning as much as we can and being as consistent and as diligent as you can through these days in the driving laps you do get.
“Of course this is all building blocks for a title fight, but we have no idea where people are. It looks like the Red Bull is quite quick, looks like the Ferrari is quite quick but no-one really knows.”
