Lewis Hamilton has expressed his determination to put in the effort needed to improve his performance at Ferrari, following his recent comments about being replaced. Hamilton, currently in the initial year of his lucrative £60 million contract with Ferrari, has faced challenges this season, lagging behind teammate Charles Leclerc in the F1 standings by 42 points.
Struggling to secure a podium finish in 14 races and only outpacing Leclerc twice this season, Hamilton voiced his frustration after a disappointing qualifying session at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Despite suggesting a need for a driver change, Hamilton has since taken time during the mid-season break to refocus and is now committed to working hard and adjusting his approach.
Acknowledging the pressure of the season so far, Hamilton emphasized the importance of enjoying the sport and working together with his team to make improvements. While receiving support from fellow drivers such as George Russell, who dismissed Hamilton’s self-criticism as unfounded, Hamilton remains focused on regaining his competitive edge and aiming for championship contention.
Reflecting on Hamilton’s situation, veteran driver Fernando Alonso highlighted Hamilton’s exceptional talent and expressed confidence in his ability to bounce back.
