Hamilton only finished eighth in testing on Thursday, with a time that was 1.3s behind Ferrari’s Sebastian Vettel.
But the British ace appears to be enjoying his new car ahead of the season.
Last year, Hamilton spoke often about his struggles with the Mercedes car and Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff labelled the car “a diva”.
Hamilton will drive the Mercedes for the last time on Friday before he sees it again at the Australian Grand Prix.
But when asked if he thought the new car was a diva, he said: “No I think at the moment, we don’t. I can’t feel any of those [traits].”
He added: “But we are just getting to know each other at the moment so I can’t call her a diva.
“We shall see.
“Balance wise it’s not perfect at the moment but I am enjoying driving the car.
“When you leave the garage and you take the pit limiter off and you bomb it down to Turn 1… ah man, I wish you guys could feel it. It’s great, great fun.
“Obviously we have a lot more downforce, you get flat through Turn 3 for example, I think yesterday I was flat through Turn 9 which I have never been flat in the ten years or whatever that I have been racing. It’s awesome.”
