The seven-time world champion has not won a race since the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, but his motivation to succeed in F1 has not wavered. He is driven by the anticipation of the emotions that come with victory celebrations on the podium. Standing on the top step, seeing his team and the flag of his nation rising behind him is a powerful motivator. Winning the world championship and continuing to work on impactful projects with his team are also driving factors. Mercedes is facing its biggest challenge yet with an all-new car design for 2024, and Hamilton compares it to his own efforts in getting Mercedes to the front when he joined in 2013.
