The era of ground effect machines it didn’t coincide with great satisfaction for the seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton. In the last three seasons, many problems for the ace native of Stevenage, undermined by the performance of a Mercedes that failed to create a car capable of being as competitive as previously. As a result, Lewis’s stock in the championship has fallen.
From this point of view, Ferrari’s offer came at the right time, to demonstrate that he still has possibilities to aspire to the championship. Hamilton spoke about this and more in an interview given to CBS. “I’m not too focused on my future in F1, but I want my eighth World Championship or, at least, at least fight for this goal“, admitted the Briton.
“It’s been tough over the years: it couldn’t have been worse. Of course we exist to win and when you don’t win your perspective has to change. But it’s not just about chasing, it’s about improving. I still enjoyed this experience, but after three years spent like this I told myself I had enough, because I want to go back to my place“, Hamilton said.
“This adventure in Mercedes has been extremely exciting, I have so much love for this team. I’m not leaving because I’m unhappy or having relationship problems. Mercedes has supported me since I was 13, so I love the brand and I love the people who work there. They have been with me through thick and thin“, he was a seven-time world champion.
