After the Singapore Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton posted an emotional message on social media: Why the record-breaking world champion believes in Ferrari’s success
A few days after the Singapore Grand Prix, which was anything but ideal for Lewis Hamilton due to brake problems and a subsequent penalty, the Ferrari driver reached out to his fans with an emotional message on social media.
In the week before the race, the 40-year-old had to say goodbye to his bulldog Roscoe. “After a tough week, it feels good to be back home,” Hamilton said. “I’ve had some time to reflect on my trip from Singapore, and the prevailing feeling I have is one of gratitude.”
He continued: “The support and love I’ve received since losing Roscoe has been a powerful reminder that even when things seem dark, there is so much good in the world. You just have to look for it.”
Hamilton: Ferrari “gets up and keeps going”
Hamilton is also trying to see the positive from a sporting perspective. “The headlines in the media only tell one side of the story—the one where we don’t get everything right or things don’t go our way,” emphasizes the Ferrari driver, who is still chasing his first podium finish with the Scuderia.
“But what I’ve been focusing on over the last few months is the other story. The one about how this team reacts when things go wrong. How we get back up and keep going.“ The race in Singapore was ”the perfect example“ of this.
”We got the strategy right, but the brake problem set us back just as we were building momentum,” said Hamilton. “So now we’re going back to the factory, learning from this last race and planning for the next one.”
Hamilton “convinced we will succeed”
Despite the setbacks the seven-time world champion has already suffered this season, he remains combative and confident. “I’m really proud of this team and want to help deliver the results they and the Tifosi deserve.”
“I see the progress we’re making and the hard work that goes into every race, but this is Ferrari. Progress alone is not enough,” says the Brit, who is currently experiencing one of the biggest tests of his career. “To achieve greatness, we have to go further, become better.” And Hamilton is convinced that, together with Ferrari, they can turn things around: “There is so much we can achieve together, and if we build on our successes and change the things we need to change, I firmly believe that we will succeed. Forza Ferrari.”
