Hamilton Confides in Ferrari: “We will be title contenders”

Hamilton Confides in Ferrari’s Potential Despite Challenges

Lewis Hamilton, soon to join Ferrari, reaffirms his confidence that the Italian team can be a title contender. The British driver highlights that the media often focuses on the negative aspects of the 2025 season. Hamilton, who finished in eighth position in the Singapore Grand Prix, experienced a complicated weekend. A penalty for multiple track infringements relegated him in the classification. His teammate, Charles Leclerc, also faced difficulties and finished sixth. The Ferrari team has had a challenging season, with no victories so far. McLaren, which retained the constructors’ title in Singapore, along with Red Bull and Mercedes, have achieved multiple victories.

Despite the setbacks, Hamilton remains optimistic. In an extensive post, the driver expressed his perspective:

I’m focusing on the positive aspects on the track. The media headlines only tell one story, one where we don’t do things right or things don’t go as we want. But what I’ve focused on in recent months is the other story. The one about how this team responds when things go wrong. How we get up and try again.

Hamilton highlighted the Singapore Grand Prix as an example of this resilience. Although the strategy was correct, a problem with the brakes affected his performance. The driver expressed his pride in the team and his desire to achieve the results that both the team and the tifosi deserve. He acknowledges the progress and hard work, but emphasizes that at Ferrari, excellence is sought.

Hamilton concluded his post with a reflection on the reaction to the death of his dog, Roscoe. After a difficult week, it feels good to be home. I had some time to reflect on my journey from Singapore and the main emotion I feel is gratitude. The support and love I have felt since I lost Roscoe have reminded me that, even when things sometimes seem dark, there is a lot of good in the world.
