“The British shared his impressions of work in Ferrar after the first half of the season”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The British pilot left a team of Brekley after 12 years, with her eight cups of designers and six of the seven personal titles. This success has made them the most successful duet in the history of Formula-1.
Deciding to take a new challenge, 40-year-old Hamilton went to Ferrari, where his former GP2 (present formula-2) head Fred Wasser heads the team. However, the results on the track have not yet lived up hopes – after 14 stages, it ranks sixth in the championship with 109 points, lagging behind the team of Charles Lecler for 42 points.
During the Grand Prix of Hungary, Hamilton recognized his own mistakes, but retained a positive attitude to the team:
“This is not what I expected; In many aspects, the situation is more intense, ”he said
“I didn’t think the factory team would be so striking. I expected, but it is … it is even more intense than I imagined. ”
The pilot added that he feels pride for participating in Ferrari and still cannot believe that he has fulfilled a child’s dream:
“This team has a great sense of pride. During the shooting last week, I had a wide smile all the time, ”Hamilton shared.
“I love to be in red! I look at the icon and think, “Wow! It’s Ferrari, I can’t believe it. ” I still have to pinch myself, I think, “I go for Ferrari.” It’s phenomenal. ”
