Lewis Hamilton declared himself a Ferrari fan

Date:

The seven -time F1 world champion gave an interview to the Italian newspaper ‘Corriere della Sera’ where he discovers who he will follow and where he will not drive.

Lewis Hamilton never ceased to admire and again gave statements he had never given before. In fifteen seasons at the world’s most prestigious motor world championship, the pilot was on just two teams, McLaren and Mercedes, both of which competed on a Mercedes engine. And as he confirmed in the Italian newspaper “Mercedes is my family, I will always be a Mercedes driver, as was Stirling Moss”.

Despite his love for Mercedes, he declared himself a follower of the longest running team in the world championship, Ferrari, and one of its drivers. “Leclerc is so strong, you can always see. I can say one thing: if I could sit with the fans on the stands, I would support Charles. I’m a Ferrari fan “. He spoke to the Monegasque driver at the end of the race in Monaco, as he told the Italian newspaper that “A long and long future is ahead of you. I know it’s annoying now, but you still have a long and far to go.”

For most pilots, it is a dream to race on the ‘Cavallino Rampante’ team, as it is the most prestigious team, where the best pilots like Niki Lauda, ​​Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell or Michael Schumacher, among others, has passed away. . The absence of the British pilot in this group was remarkable, so they decided to ask him about it. Shortly before confirming that he was always a Mercedes driver, a tattoo was pointed at him saying “Loyalty” and continued talking about the Italian team “Of course it would have been nice to race for Ferrari during my career, but Mercedes is my family”.

Verstappen was able to snatch him the eighth crown and he doesn’t seem to have a good relationship with him. When Lewis Hamilton was asked if Verstappen had been the strongest driver he had ever faced or another, he emphatically answered “One of many, that I have faced, and many. From Fernando Alonso, everyone has good qualities ”.

Regarding the problems they are experiencing this season and their distance from their competitors, he would like to point out that “I have been with them for ten years. I know how they work and their kind of culture: we win and lose together. They are very motivated and give their souls to get them back. “. So, as confident as he is in his eighth World Cup with Mercedes: “I believe in the eighth title, I want to win to do all the work behind it for equality. Now F1 is a source of inspiration and helps in development of opinions “.
