Hamilton: You can’t achieve perfection, but you have to strive for it

On the first day of the weekend at Monza, the Mercedes team confirmed their squad would remain unchanged for the next two years, and the seven-time world champion was asked for comment at the FIA ​​press conference.

Lewis Hamilton «Of course I am very happy that I will continue to work with this team, because together we have come an incredibly successful and long way. I want to emphasize that Mercedes has supported me since I was thirteen. But we are still not done with the job, we still have a lot of work to do to get back to the previous high level.

I never doubted that I wanted to continue my career. Although when things weren’t going so well, like last year, everyone asked me if I wanted to stay in Formula 1?

This is a very difficult sport, but heavy thoughts and feelings quickly give way to a fighting spirit, you get ready and try again to achieve the highest possible results, try to cope with all circumstances, however they develop. I am very proud of what we achieved last year.

We didn’t start the season in the best way either, but we’ve had excellent results, we’re second in the Constructors’ Championship and we’ll try to keep it and close the gap with the leaders.

For the next two years, we have set ourselves a simple goal, even if it will be difficult to achieve. All champion teams and all riders strive for the highest possible results, so we have to work steadily, we have to perform as well as possible every weekend.

Although I have been involved in motorsport for so many years, I still know that I can achieve more. This is why I love Formula 1, because you will never reach perfection here, but the constant pursuit of it is one of the most interesting aspects. of our profession.

In 2024 and 2025 Let’s try to win championships. We have unfinished business in Formula 1 – we want to return to the leaders. In the last ten years we were the most successful team in the championship, but lately we have to overcome difficulties, so we have to try to return to the previous level.
