There are only three weeks left before the long story between Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes comes to an end. However, the atmosphere in his garage is far from ideal, given Toto Wolff’s recent statements in which he claimed his driver has “an expiration date” and even admitted that the Briton’s departure was “a relief,” as it spared him from having to fire him himself.
The media didn’t miss the opportunity to ask Lewis Hamilton for his opinion, but he chose to maintain a neutral tone. “I’m here, and I feel good. I train a lot and am in a great mental space, considering how the last races have gone. That feels like enough to me. I’ve been in this environment long enough, and there have often been microaggressions and negative comments directed at me. I’m not talking about my boss, who has always supported me, but also about the media. Nothing can bring me down; I will continue to fight and push,” the Briton told Sky Sports UK.
Once the Mercedes era is over, the seven-time world champion will be able to focus on his new adventure in red. Although this topic has been heavily discussed for months, it seems his career at Brackley effectively ended as early as February this year. In recent days, there has been much talk about rumors from the Italian media suggesting that Lewis Hamilton will stay at Enzo Ferrari’s house in Fiorano during his contract period, an honor previously reserved only for Michael Schumacher.
However, the driver wanted to put these claims to rest once and for all: “I don’t think I’d stay there, but one day I’d like to visit the building and the rooms, as they’ve remained unchanged.” – the future Ferrari driver concluded ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.
