Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton: "Too much pressure, I want to get back to having fun"

The second part of the season begins in Formula 1, the Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled for the weekend, and Lewis Hamilton looks forward to returning to the track with hope after a really difficult first part of the year at Ferrari. “I pulled the plug during the’summer, now I feel calm and motivated, we will work hard and keep our heads down”.

“We will try to change some things in our approach and maybe even start having fun”. Hamilton, now out of any talk about the standings, has as his first goal to get back to having fun: “There has been a lot of pressure in this first half of the season, which has not been the most pleasant. And so I think it will be enough to remind ourselves that we love what we do, that we are all in the same boat. I will try to have fun”.

Hamilton talks about “progress, I think we are slowly starting to improve as a team. We are going in the right direction and with the new components that have come in we have started to be able to find a better set-up”.

On his difficulties: “I made this transition to a team that I really believe in and I am still convinced in the potential of this team and what we can accomplish together. I think everyone on the team agrees in that, but no one is successful without first going through those difficult times. So I welcome this phase, looking forward to more peaceful days”.
