Lewis Hamilton: “I know that the Tifosi and the team want to win”

After winning in China’s short race, English sent a message to Ferrari fans to be calm.

Lewis Hamilton achieved his first victory in Sprint races in Formula 1 and signed the first major celebration with Ferrari, a team that came this season after spending 18 seasons under the wing of Mercedes-Benzfirst when using the engines that pushed their McLaren, and then already as a member of the comprehensive team. At 40, English could close the deal to move to that team with which he dreamed as a boy, he wanted to dress in red. And he succeeded. After a complicated start in Australia, with a car that had a wrong set-up set (the Scuderia recognized an error in the simulator data), markedly lifted the level and stayed with China’s Sprint.

Of course, if the Tifosi had already been excited only with their arrival, much more they did after the success in Shanghai’s short race. Ferrari does not win the title of pilots since 2007 with Kimi Räikkönen and that of builders since 2008. An eternity for the only team with perfect presence in all seasons of the World Cup. That’s why Hamilton asked for peace of mind.

“I don’t feel the pressure. I know that the Tifosi and the team want to win, but this is built one step at the same time. We will continue pushing, you have to be calm. You have to focus on the coming classification (NDER: that of the main race), it is a long path, ”said Hamilton.

Then, he analyzed the race: “It was a great day today. I felt very good from the morning. Many people overestimated how difficult it is to reach a new team. I felt the car very well this weekend from the first round I gave. The work that was done is very good, ”said Lewis, who quickly began to think about the rest of the Chinese weekend.
