Hamilton describes his time at Ferrari as an “emotional rollercoaster”<\/h2>\n\nThe renowned driver Lewis Hamilton has shared his impressions of his first season at Ferrari, calling it an “emotional rollercoaster.” The seven-time world champion left Mercedes to join Ferrari this year, and although he has experienced some challenges, he is optimistic about the future.\nHamilton, who has had a sprint race victory in China, but has yet to achieve podium finishes in the grand prix, prepares for his first Italian Grand Prix in Monza as a Ferrari driver. However, he will face a five-place grid penalty due to a yellow flag infringement in Zandvoort.\nDespite setbacks, including a qualifying session in Hungary where he called himself “useless”, Hamilton believes that both he and Ferrari are starting to make progress. “It’s been an emotional rollercoaster,” Hamilton commented in Monza, when asked about how he has handled emotions in his first year.\n\n

Did I expect it to be so volatile in terms of feeling? No, but that’s life.<\/p>Lewis Hamilton<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe driver also expressed his desire to enjoy every present moment, acknowledging that the first half of the season has passed quickly. “I’m trying not to worry about tomorrow. I’m trying to be present and enjoy every moment,” he added.\nHamilton recalled his childhood, when he watched Michael Schumacher win at Monza, and now he is preparing to experience that as a Ferrari driver. “I want to give them absolutely everything this weekend to get the best result for them,” he stated, referring to the passionate Ferrari fans.\n\n

Tribute to Niki Lauda<\/h2>\n\nFerrari will use a special livery this weekend to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Niki Lauda’s first world title with the team in 1975. Hamilton, who worked with Lauda at Mercedes, will also carry the Austrian’s name on his helmet.\nWhen talking about his friend, who passed away in 2019, Hamilton commented that he often thinks about the advice Lauda would give him at Ferrari. “His legacy lives on and I know what he would tell me today,” he stated.\nHamilton remembered Lauda’s words, who used to tell him: “Give it gas”, but always using a stronger expression. “He was a fighter”, Hamilton concluded.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
