Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, recently made a shocking revelation about his experience at the Ferrari motorhome during the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. In a surprising turn of events, Hamilton, now part of the Ferrari team after leaving Mercedes, confessed to feeling disoriented and needing help to navigate the prestigious motorhome.
Speaking at Imola, his first race in Italy as a Ferrari driver, Hamilton expressed his awe at finally being inside the legendary Ferrari hospitality area. The British driver admitted that despite admiring the Ferrari motorhome from afar since his F1 debut in 2007, he had never dared to enter it as a rival driver.
Hamilton’s candid confession revealed, “Everything is kind of a new experience. It’s the first time I’ve been to a European race and seen the motorhomes. I arrived here and didn’t know where to go – I had to ask someone to show me everything. I’ve seen these trucks since I started in F1 in 2007. I’ve walked past them and never been inside. To be honest, I was afraid to go in there because it was from another team. I never got past the first step. Today is the first time I walk in this building, and it’s another realization of being here.”
Now fully immersed in the Ferrari team, Hamilton described the experience as both thrilling and eye-opening, emphasizing the profound passion and beauty of Ferrari’s culture. The British driver, currently in seventh place in the driver standings, acknowledged the intense passion surrounding Ferrari and expressed his admiration for the team and its Italian fans.
Hamilton’s journey from Mercedes to Ferrari has been closely followed by fans and experts alike, with many eager to see how the British driver will perform in his new team. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Hamilton as he continues to adapt to his new surroundings and strive for success with Ferrari.
