Unfiltered Insights: life in the wild world of F1 with Lewis Hamilton
Disarray at Ferrari, yet Hamilton not pondering over retirement - "Disarray" persists at Ferrari, yet Hamilton maintains no intentions of resigning.
Here's the deal, folks: it's all chaos at Ferrari, and Lewis Hamilton is smack-dab in the middle of it. After a grim start, the record-breaking world champ is yearning for success, and where better than Montreal, his old stomping ground where he nabbed his first Grand Prix win 18 years ago?
A whiff of retirement? Nah, mate! Contrary to those fake news stories buzzing around Italy, Hamilton's mot headed to Ferrari for a long haul. Got it straight? This ain't some fleeting moment; he's here for the long run, like a dog with a bone. Don't you believe those rosy tales about him quitting outta frustration. Pish posh!
Now, what's the beef with team boss Frédéric Vasseur, you ask? Well, we hear murmurs about the Italian media wanting to give ol' Freddy the boot. Stupid fabrications, if you ask me. Hamilton backs his man, with good reason: Vasseur's the main reason he chose Ferrari in the first place. Rest assured, he's not gonna sling mud at Freddy. They're all good, just caught in the crossfire.
What's the deal with the team? Ferrari's 199 points behind McLaren in the constructors' championship, and poor Hamilton and his teammate Charles Leclerc are barely sniffing the leaders' dust. It's a dog-eat-dog world, and they're squeezed in the ranks.
As for Scuderia, it's hardly ever quiet. Expectations have been buzzing quietly since their last title win by Kimi Räikkönen 18 years ago, and things have been far from rosy ever since. Hamilton knows more than most what goes on behind the scenes in the Ferrari factory. Progress is slow, and while it ain't as bad as it seems, they're pinning their hopes on Canada for a surprise win or, at the very least, another podium finish.
Despair? Nah, it's much too early for that. Six months in and they're still finding their footing. Hamilton doesn't regret his move: "It might look worse from the outside, but it's not as bad as it seems. A good weekend would certainly help, but I don't feel like I desperately need it yet."
Lewis loves Italy, and he's eyeing up a swanky pad near the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, already smitten with la vita Italiana. He's keeping busy off the track, meeting with bigwigs like the Prime Minister and launching new campaigns with major partners. Business is booming, but he's got his sights set on track success too. Let's see if things heat up in Montreal.
