Lewis Hamilton has issued a powerful message on social media, urging everyone to "keep going, even when it's difficult," as he prepares for the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend. The seven-time world champion is looking to reset after a challenging start to his maiden season with Ferrari.
Why it matters
Hamilton has yet to secure a Grand Prix podium for Ferrari and made headlines at the Hungarian GP by labeling himself "useless" and suggesting the team needed a new driver. This period marks a crucial opportunity for him to build momentum, especially with the Italian Grand Prix at Ferrari's home circuit following Zandvoort. The Tifosi will be expecting a strong performance.
The big picture
The summer break provided Hamilton, 40, a chance to reflect and recharge. His social media post emphasizes:
- Gratitude for rest: Acknowledging the importance of downtime to recharge.
- Global challenges: Meditating on the individual and global struggles faced by everyone.
- Embracing truth and love: Stressing self-care to better care for others.
- Perseverance: The core message to "keep going, even when it's difficult."
What's next
With expectations high, Hamilton's message sets a tone of determination. His performance in the Netherlands and Italy will be closely watched as he aims to turn his season around and deliver for the Scuderia.
