Lewis Hamilton also made it clear that he did not come to Maranello to lead, but quite the opposite: He wants to be the man with whom Scuderia Ferrari will become world champion for the first time since 2007.
If anyone, the Briton certainly has experience in how to become a champion with a team that has seen better days. He wants to capitalize on this, and if he succeeds, he won't back down. In fact!
"A world title with Scuderia Ferrari would not be my eighth, but rather my first. Yes, I want to win a championship with Ferrari, for Ferrari, that's what I'm working on right now. Right now, I'm absolutely not thinking about it being my eighth, breaking all records, but rather chasing this dream as if it were my first. Although the team has won many titles before, they haven't managed to do it for a while, I feel like it's my mission to help them do that. I am and will be about winning, my every thought is about how I can be as useful as possible to achieve our goal. If I succeed and win another world championship title, I certainly won't retire. I couldn't imagine stopping..." - said Lewis Hamilton.
Fasten your seatbelts, can the ninth come?
