Lewis Hamilton is employing a striking strategy in preparation for his upcoming debut at Ferrari. The seven-time world champion has decided not to make use of the team's advanced Formula 1 simulator in Maranello.
This decision, which he has consistently maintained, has proven crucial to his performance according to Hamilton himself. He claims that skipping the digital training environment has 'helped enormously' in his preparation.
Through this approach, the Briton opts for a method that differs from what many of his colleagues do. They rely heavily on the simulator to adapt to new cars or circuits.
It offers an insight into Hamilton's unique approach to racing and how he prepares mentally and physically for the challenges ahead. The impact of this personal working method on his adaptation to the Ferrari car will be closely watched.
