Recently, his team boss Toto Wolff made a very strong statement about Lewis Hamilton, claiming that the seven-time world champion's "shelf life" has expired. The Mercedes driver is trying to refute this for a few more races...
The global star, who will continue his career next year with Scuderia Ferrari, is here and signals that it would not be worth writing him off:
"I really don't know what he meant by that. I haven't read the messages, so I don't have the full story, but I think Toto has already clarified what he meant. This doesn't affect our relationship because he has always supported me. Besides, I've been in this business for a very long time, and a lot of things have been said about me. The media has often been aggressive towards me, but nothing has been able to bring me down, and that will continue. I'm still here, fighting, fighting, and loving this team, even if I leave at the end of the year.
My goal is to perform as well as possible in the next races. If the technique is right, our results will also be better," Hamilton added in the same sentence.
