    Lewis Hamilton says his first year with Ferrari has been an ’emotional rollercoaster’

    Lewis Hamilton says his first year with Ferrari has been an ’emotional rollercoaster’

    Hamilton Reflects on ‘Emotional Rollercoaster’ at Ferrari

    Lewis Hamilton has described his first year with Ferrari as an “emotional rollercoaster,” revealing that he was unprepared for the “volatile” experience of switching teams. The seven-time world champion made the move from Mercedes over the winter in pursuit of new challenges but has faced difficulties in securing consistent performances so far this season.


    Struggles in Performance

    After 15 races wearing the iconic red of Ferrari, Hamilton has achieved only a sprint race victory in China, alongside a disappointing absence from podium finishes in Grand Prix events. As he gears up for his inaugural Italian Grand Prix at Monza, he heads into the weekend facing a five-place grid penalty due to a yellow flag infringement at Zandvoort.

    Navigating Challenges and Setbacks

    Despite a string of setbacks—including a particularly tough qualifying session in Hungary where Hamilton expressed frustration over his performance—the British driver feels the team is starting to make progress. “It’s been an emotional roller coaster,” he told reporters, reflecting on the ups and downs of the season. “What can I really say? Did I expect it to be as volatile? No, but that’s life.”

    Hamilton notes that while the road ahead may seem daunting, he is embracing each moment, especially with the special significance of racing in Monza. “I just really reflect on when I was a kid watching Michael Schumacher winning here,” he added, underscoring his desire to deliver a memorable performance for the passionate Tifosi.

    Adapting to a New Culture

    Transitioning from Mercedes to Ferrari has required significant adjustments on both sides, with Hamilton acknowledging the cultural differences between the two teams. “There are still things that you couldn’t foresee,” he explained. “And there’s been a lot of adjustment.”

    Hamilton believes this challenging period will ultimately strengthen the relationship with Ferrari. “Honestly, I think the harder it is, the better it can make you,” he stated. “And I think we’ll be stronger having gone through this tough first six months.”

    Tribute to Niki Lauda

    As an added layer of significance, Hamilton will race this weekend with a special one-off livery celebrating the 50th anniversary of Niki Lauda’s first world title with Ferrari in 1975. The British driver, who enjoyed a close bond with the late three-time champion during their time at Mercedes, expressed his admiration for Lauda’s legacy.

    “I think it’s amazing this weekend because I got to celebrate Niki at Mercedes and also here at Ferrari,” Hamilton said, revealing he carries Lauda’s name on his helmet. Reflecting on advice from his friend, he fondly recalled Lauda’s fighting spirit, hinting at the motivation it provides him during this challenging chapter in his career.

    Looking Ahead

    With renewed determination, Hamilton is eager to tackle the rest of the season, hoping to build momentum and achieve success with Ferrari moving forward. The Italian Grand Prix at Monza offers a perfect opportunity for Hamilton to turn his season around and deliver on the immense expectations filled with passion and nostalgia.
