Lewis Hamilton is driving with a new "feisty and happy demeanour" according to Martin Brundle.
The Mercedes driver has endured a difficult 18 months, going from a regular world championship winner to a driver who can be satisfied with simply getting on the podium. The Silver Arrows have endured a notable drop off since 2021, when the rule changes shook up the grid.
It means Mercedes are very much playing catch up to a dominant Red Bull, but forward strides were made in Barcelona at the weekend. The German outfit bought upgrades and saw Hamilton and George Russell finish second and third respectively, with Hamilton rising from fourth on the grid.
