Hamilton wants success with Ferrari and looks to Vettel and Alonso
Lewis Hamilton is keen to be successful in the long term with Ferrari, he revealed at the press conference after the sprint race in China. The seven-time world champion, now in his 40's, won the first (sprint) race from pole position in Ferrari's SF-25, and there is a lot of potential in it, Hamilton believes.
Hamilton wants to build success with Ferrari
"If you look at Seb (Sebastian Vettel), you look at Fernando (Alonso), they did a great job when they joined the team in their early phases, but to build long-term success with the team takes time to build. And that's what I'm trying to do. I'm not trying to jump-start it, get ahead of myself. I'm just taking my time to build with this great team," said Hamilton.
During the Australian Grand Prix, things did not go as planned for Ferrari. There were issues in the internal communication process between Hamilton and race engineer Riccardo Adami, that fueled criticism from the outside, according to Hamilton, to which the Briton alluded following his Sprint race win.
