Lewis Hamilton was left to reflect upon his slow start to the Formula One season as he waited at Heathrow airport on Monday.

The Formula One world champion has had over a week to look back at his fourth-placed finish at the Chinese Grand Prix, adding to his uncharacteristically slow start to the season.

Hamilton is yet to win a race in the season’s first three races but will hope to change that in Baku on Sunday when he lines up for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Hamilton, who failed to make the podium at last year’s Azerbaijan race where he finished fifth, posted an image on Instagram as he waited at Heathrow on Monday.

‘On the move,’ Hamilton wrote as he posed wearing a variety of different Tommy Hilfiger designs.

The 33-year-old has struggled to ignite his championship defence so far this season, finishing second, third and fourth at the Australian, Chinese and Bahrain GP’s respectively.

A winless start to the season has seen the Mercedes driver concede a nine-point lead to Sebastian Vettel, who triumphed in Australia and Bahrain before finishing eighth in China over a week ago.

Mercedes are not a team familiar with winless streaks, but despite his lapse in form, Hamilton has insisted he wants to continue his relationship with last year’s constructor champions. 

‘My hope for the future is that we continue – continue to grow, excel and always move forwards,’ Hamilton said on Mercedes’ F1 website. ‘Obviously, to build our relationship. But I really want to take this team the furthest it has ever been.

‘I want to be part of this journey where Mercedes are the most successful Formula One team in history.

‘I want to push it as far as I can, with the lifespan as a driver that I have, that it would take a long, long time for anyone else to catch up.

‘I think it would really upset the red cars and the red team, so that’s my goal.’
