In just one week, Lewis Hamilton will experience his first Italian Grand Prix at Monza as a Ferrari driver. On the eve of the Dutch Grand Prix, the British driver spoke about the strong emotions connected to the Ferrari fans and an event that will mean far more than just another race on the calendar for him.
During Thursday interviews, Lewis Hamilton was asked for his thoughts on next week’s race at Monza: “To be honest, I haven’t thought about it much yet. I’m trying to take it one day at a time. At Imola, I already saw how incredible the support from the Tifosi is. I know what it means for Ferrari to race at Monza, and I am sure it will be a unique experience.”
The special role of Ferrari fans
Even though he has not yet achieved a podium in the first fourteen races of the season, the seven-time world champion emphasized the special role of the Tifosi, who have always been the beating heart of the Cavallino Rampante: “I am always thrilled to see the Tifosi. The support this team receives worldwide from them is unmatched.”
The pressure and excitement of joining Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton also admitted that joining a team like Ferrari comes with a particular level of pressure. Integrating into such a large organization and carrying the weight of the brand have made the first months intense. However, for the upcoming weekend, his focus will be entirely on the audience at the “Temple of Speed.”
