Lewis Hamilton's sporting adventures were well documented during the off-season, but now that it is almost back to work for the five-time Formula 1 World Champion who is recharged and primed to defend his title.
On the day of the unveiling of the Mercedes W10, the team released interviews with their drivers, with Hamilton describing his holidays, "I had a great Christmas with my family. I went snowmobiling, I went skiing, I went surfing with Kelly Slater, which was amazing."
"I completely switched off from racing for a while, trying to focus and re-centre myself and training hard for the new season. 2018 was a great year, but I feel like 2019 can be even better. I want to achieve more, I want to continue to keep pushing. I feel energised and I'm ready to attack."
The 34-year-old Briton begins his seventh season with the Mercedes works team, with them he has scored four F1 world titles, 52 grand prix victories and 57 pole positions since he joined them in 2013.
With his sixth season in Silver behind him, Hamilton said, "I'm really looking forward to the next step of our journey together with Mercedes and embarking on what's not been done before."
"This is my seventh year with the team and the energy and the determination within the team are really inspiring. The buzz really starts at the beginning of the year when you see the car coming together. And then you get to the shakedown and you get into the car - it just never gets old."
"It feels like a real privilege - so many people have worked together to form that car and you know how much hard work has gone into it. Driving the new car is like meeting someone new for the first time - you want to get to know them the best way as quick as possible as you embark on a journey together," added Hamilton.
