Lewis Hamilton Seeks to Rediscover Joy at Ferrari

Zandvoort, Netherlands – Renowned driver Lewis Hamilton expresses his desire to rediscover his passion for Formula 1 in the second half of the season. After admitting that his enjoyment of the sport diminished before the summer break, due to the pressure of driving for Ferrari, the seven-time world champion is focused on enjoying his experience with the Italian team. After joining Ferrari from Mercedes during the winter, fulfilling his childhood dream of competing for the Italian team, Hamilton faces a new challenge. Ferrari’s difficulties in achieving the performance of the championship leaders, McLaren, and Hamilton’s own problems in adapting to a completely new car, resulted in a series of disappointing results. In the last race in Hungary, the driver declared himself to feel “useless” after qualifying outside the top ten.

I feel determined and motivated to keep going. Let’s work, keep our heads down, try to change some things in our approach and start enjoying.

When talking about the resumption of the season this weekend in the Netherlands, Hamilton revealed that his focus for the remaining ten races of 2025 will be to enjoy the experience of being a Ferrari driver. He acknowledged that the pressure of the first half of the season was not the most pleasant and emphasized the importance of remembering the love for what they do. Hamilton explained that the pressure came from several factors, including adapting to a new team, the additional work with new partners, and integration into a prestigious brand in the sport. This combination of elements resulted in a challenging environment.

Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari generated high expectations, which, according to the driver, created an unwanted level of “noise” in the team. Hamilton emphasized the importance of having fun, remembering that the passion for the sport was what drove him to compete. The goal is to enjoy the pure love for what he does again, putting aside the noise and focusing on the pleasure of driving for the team he always dreamed of. Hamilton does not expect a radical change in results in the second half of the year, but considers that the Formula 1 summer break gave him the opportunity to restart and reflect. During this time, he focused on analyzing what happened, identifying areas for improvement, and defining new processes for the future. Despite the less positive results, Hamilton sees great potential and optimism to build on the experiences of the first half of the season.
