Lewis Hamilton has warned Mercedes to resist making “too many changes and mess up” his Japanese Grand Prix weekend after his “best session” with the W15 car at Suzuka.
Having announced in February that he will join Ferrari in
2025, Hamilton has endured his worst-ever start to a season in his final year
as a Mercedes driver, finishing no higher than seventh in the opening three
races.

Hamilton’s stuttering start to the season slumped to a new
low at the last race in Australia, where he retired with an engine failure
after just 15 laps.
That came after the seven-time World Champion was knocked
out of Q2 in qualifying, with Hamilton admitting during the Melbourne weekend
that he was “the least confident” he’d ever been with the Mercedes car.
