Fresh from an eighth place in Singapore, Lewis Hamilton arrives in Austin (Texas) moderately confident ahead of the United States Grand Prix: “We will certainly give everything and continue to improve. There are many positive aspects to take from each weekend, but also many others where we can make steps forward. I spent some time after the last race examining the mistakes and the aspects on which we can do better. I think this weekend we can really take a step forward and have more performance. We don’t bring any updates, but the car has potential that we could extract by improving its execution.” In recent days Christian Horner, former Red Bull team principal, has been linked to Ferrari. The 7-time world champion underlined how these rumors could represent a distraction for the team: “I don’t know where these rumors come from, so I can’t shed light on it. But it’s a distraction for us as a team. The team has clarified what its position is for the future (Vasseur, Ferrari team principal, has had his contract renewed, ed.)”.

We must maintain focus on the objective we have in front of us, which is to build next year’s car. As already said at Spa, we are having many meetings and meetings to make sure that the direction taken is the right one.”

The Briton underlined that the team’s commitment and hopes are focused above all on next season, in which there will be an important regulation change: “I look at the next six races essentially as test weekends. We must continue to improve in the execution of our procedures. In the last few weekends there have been some opportunities that we have not been able to make the most of. This is what we must continue to work on, maintaining what is working to instead change what is not going the right way.” right. We must continue to cement our relationships and improve our communications. I believe everyone in the factory deserves good results and that is our only goal.”
