How Lewis Hamilton Dominates In The Wet

Lewis Hamilton is incredible in wet conditions.

In fact, until last year’s German Grand Prix, Hamilton was unbeaten in rain-affected races since 2014.

Think about that for a second. That’s five years of winning in wet conditions. And even in last year’s crazy race at Hockenheim, where another rain master went on to win, he was leading until he ran wide into everyone’s favourite place to crash that day.

Granted, in recent years he’s mostly - probably always - been in the best car, but rain does level the playing field somewhat, reducing the advantages of a dominant car, and shifting more responsibility on the driver’s skill.

The stakes are higher in the wet, with every input from the driver needing absolute precision. A mistake in dry might only cost you a few tenths of a second, but in the wet could send you into the barrier.

It’s in these incredibly difficult races, where conditions are mixed up, that can make the difference in a championship bid.

If Hamilton gets it right he’s closer to another championship and further confirmation he’s one of the greats, or get it wrong, and a potential championship win might slip by.

So what is Hamilton doing differently inside the cockpit and how does he maintain such pace in the wet?
