Ferrari, Hamilton: “I think about driving even when I sleep, Elkann’s words serve to unite us”

Rome, Nov. 20 (LaPresse) – “Elkann’s words? I wake up thinking about driving, I go to sleep thinking about it, and I even think about it while I sleep.” Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton said this at a press conference ahead of Sunday’s Las Vegas Grand Prix, which focused almost exclusively on Elkann’s comments that “Drivers should focus on driving and talk less.” “If anything, I need to focus on pulling away more,” added the British driver, noting that “it’s been a really intense year. I think it’s been the most challenging year I’ve ever had.” As reported by the BBC, Hamilton said he did not take Elkan’s comments personally: “I know what John’s intentions are. We talk several times a week, so we’ve spoken several times since last week. It’s about bringing the team together, and we’re all really united. We’re all deeply involved. The passion is so deep. But I love that, and I could never blame anyone for having it.”
