Lewis Hamilton: "I think we are behind Mercedes in terms of power unit performance. To close this gap, we need to work on the car twice as hard as others, which is a very challenging task.
We must consider that under the new regulations, all teams are working with roughly equal intensity. So if one team gains a tenth, we need to gain two, and if they gain two, we need to gain three or four. That's a lot, but we need to keep working to reduce the engine power deficit.
I didn't have a proper break. Many perceived it as a vacation, but in reality, we just had more time to work. I went to the base every week, trained a lot, worked with physiotherapists, and recovered. I didn't take any days off.
We worked on the simulator every week, analyzing the first three races, especially the last one, trying to understand where we are lacking and how to address it. In Suzuka, at times the car unexpectedly lost eight to nine tenths on the straights, and it wasn't just about the engine. But we figured out these issues and resolved them. Additionally, during the break, the regulations changed – it will be interesting to see what this brings.
I spent two days testing wet tires in Fiorano, and I hope this helps if it rains on Sunday. I think it was beneficial for everyone to take a pause and calmly analyze the last three races.
A filming day in Monza? No, it didn't bring anything new. It was just a filming day."
