Lewis Hamilton has promised "no holding back" as he embarks on his 20th season of Formula 1 "still standing, still hungry, still focused on the dream".

Hamilton prepares for this weekend's season-opening Australian Grand Prix having already said he feels "re-set and refreshed" ahead of a second campaign with Ferrari in which he will bid to quickly banish the disappointments of the first, when he failed to record a podium finish for the first time in his career.

Ferrari head to Melbourne hotly tipped alongside Mercedes to fight at the front of the field after an impressive pre-season of testing and seven-time champion Hamilton has made clear he is looking forward to his landmark campaign.
