Lewis Hamilton says doesn’t need F1’s unplanned four-week April break, but “it’s good for the team to really sit down and focus on bringing upgrades to the car”.
After Formula 1 announced they will not be replacing the cancelled 2023 Chinese Grand Prix, F1 drivers and team suddenly received a four week break from racing after only three races.
When asked about this, Lewis Hamilton said he personally doesn’t need it.
“Honestly, I don’t think I need a mental break at the moment, I feel pretty good,” the Briton said.
“Particularly around August is that time where you can have downtime.”

However, Lewis added the break will certainly allow Mercedes to focus on the W14’s performance issues.
“I think it’s good for the team to really sit down and focus on bringing upgrades to the car. I wish we were racing personally but I’ll try and make the best use of it.
“I haven’t figured out what I’m going to do throughout the whole time, but, it’ll mostly be training and keeping busy,” Hamilton concluded.
