Recently, his team principal, Toto Wolff, made a very strong statement about Lewis Hamilton, saying that the seven-time world champion has "passed his deadline". The Mercedes driver, for a few more races, is trying to deny this…
The superstar who will continue his career next year with Scuderia Ferrari is here and he warns that it would be a shame to underestimate him:
"I don't really know what he was thinking with that. I haven't read the news, so I don't know the full story, but I think Toto has already made it clear what he meant. It doesn't affect our relationship at all, as he has always supported me. On the other hand, I've been in this business for a long time, and a lot of things have been said about me. The media has been aggressive with me many times, but nothing has ever knocked me down, and that's how it will be. I'm still here, fighting, struggling, and I love this team, even if I'm leaving at the end of the year.
My goal is to perform at my best in the next races. If the technology allows it, then our results will improve." - said Hamilton, supported and restrained in the same sentence.
