Andrew Shovlin decodes why Lewis Hamilton is so fast right now
As reported by Crash.net, Mercedes trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin explains why Hamilton has gained so much speed on the rest of the field. After Mexico, Lewis has been comfortable faster than everyone in the field, including Verstappen.

“He’s really in the zone at the moment and we can do all our simulations but nothing explains why he was that far ahead, ahead of Max, it’s fundamentally just down to him really sort of digging deep and doing what needs to be done,” said Shovlin while explaining his pace difference in Qatar.
“But Lewis knows what needs to be done to win these championships, the team knows what needs to be done, and we’re all just getting on and doing it. But having him in the car is just a huge boost to our confidence,” concluded Shovlin.
It is quite astonishing that Lewis Hamilton has won as many races as most countries. And there are no signs of stopping as he is on course to becoming an 8-time world champion in Formula One.
