Hamilton drives a Ferrari As difficult as it is to investigate the emotions of a champion, it is not far from the truth to say that Lewis Hamilton has never been happier at Ferrari. The Englishman came to Austria excited by the success achieved in Barcelona; It was a victory that confirmed SF-26’s progress and represented in red the highest moment of its journey. Victory in Catalonia strengthened the confidence of the whole team and (sensationally) restarted their world title ambitions, with the seven-time world champion now -41 behind Kimi Antonelli. Fueled by the enthusiasm accumulated in the final lap, Hamilton welcomes the weekend to the Red Bull Ring with the aim of adding continuity to the results and cementing the magical moment on a track that should not reward Ferrari’s qualities as it requires great thrust from the engine. This still poses problems for Maranello, despite the first power unit update delivered by ADUO. “I think I’m really proud of the whole team, it’s like everyone in this team is bringing something and everyone is trying harder than ever before, improving themselves. We’re working more united than ever with Vasseur’s fantastic leadership: to see the improvements we want in Barcelona and here too is a sign of how incredible the team is working. Even if the engine isn’t completed, it’s a step forward and we have to continue to do that,” commented Hamilton. The Briton is at the Red Bull Ring. “It’s great to finally have a car that has the things I want. We move together and cooperate very well. I love driving this SF-26, now I’m starting to implement the things I want and that’s what makes me feel the best.” But Hamilton’s optimism does not lead him to think about the championship: “I concentrate on the weekends and come to the track without talking about the World Championship, just wanting to win the race. Neither I nor the team are thinking about the championship. I think race by race and I intend to repeat my performance in Barcelona, where we are all in harmony thanks to the pit stops and strategy.”
