F1 LIVE | Hamilton promises he is here to stay, Honda reacts to pre-season issues

Lewis Hamilton is excited about his 20th Formula 1 season and his second with Ferrari. The British driver wrote on social media that he is re-set and refreshed.

He added: "I’m not going anywhere, so stick with me. For a moment, I forgot who I was, but thanks to you and your support you’re not going to see that mindset again. I know what needs to be done. This is going to be one hell of a season. I’ve given everything to be here today. Let’s go team!!!"

Meanwhile, Honda also reacted to the difficulties the Japanese brand encountered with Aston Martin during the final pre-season test at the Bahrain International Circuit. "Overall, we are not happy with our performance and our reliability at the moment. However, we are all looking for solutions together in Sakura, Milton Keynes and Silverstone," Shintaro Orihara, Honda's Trackside General Manager and Chief Engineer, explained.
