Speaking in an interview released by Mercedes from their Silverstone car launch Hamilton said: “I feel the most motivated and focused I’ve ever been.
“I never thought that at this point in my life that I would have hunger like I do right now and to finish on a high with this team, it would be a dream.
“We’ve gone through a whole heap together so to finish on a high it would be the greatest honour to be able to help them to get back to the top.”
After briefly driving the team’s all-new W15 for the first time in a shakedown at a wet Silverstone after its launch last week, Hamilton’s 12th and final season at Mercedes will begin in earnest this week with three days of pre-season in Bahrain on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
