“I hardly ever drive the simulator”
Back in 2021, Lewis Hamilton admitted he barely uses the Mercedes simulator. Which seems bizarre. Surely, a seven times World Champion would be doing ANYTHING he could to find an advantage.
Max literally has a sim in his motorhome, and Lewis isn’t touching one. That’s weird right?
“I have no interest in the simulator”.
So why does Lewis avoid the sim? And is it hurting his performance? Let's get into it.
First things first, why is a simulator good for a driver? You might think it’s about learning circuits and racing lines, but there’s much more to it than that.
Verstappen, who uses the sim more than any other driver does a huge amount on the simulator, and doesn’t even use a test driver like others. He says “I don’t want a test driver to take over the simulator sessions, like other teams do. I want to do it myself, because everyone has their own driving style.”
