Milan, 10 Sept. (LaPresse) – “We’ve laid solid foundations in the first part of the year and we need to keep going down this path. The team has worked hard to deliver updates race after race. We’ve taken a step forward with the engine, which is a really positive thing. I think it’s important to acknowledge that.” So said Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari driver, ahead of the Formula 1 Madrid Grand Prix. “I’m convinced we’ll achieve our goals. Whether that happens next week, in a while’s time or next year, we’ll keep pushing as hard as we can,” he added to the F1.com website. Hamilton wasn’t entirely satisfied with his team-mate Charles Leclerc’s behaviour at Monza: the two found themselves side by side at the start and Hamilton ended up with a wheel on the gravel, losing several positions. “I think our relationship on the track is good. We’re mature individuals capable of communicating with one another, which is exactly what we’ve done,” explained Hamilton. “First and foremost, I’m really happy that he’s well and that he’s here this weekend, because we need him to challenge Mercedes together,” concluded Hamilton.
