Recently, his team boss, Toto Wolff, made a very strong statement about Lewis Hamilton, saying that the seven-time world champion is "going to fail". The Mercedes driver has a few more races to go and is trying to refute this...
The star, who will continue his career at Scuderia Ferrari next year, is here and suggests that it would be a shame to write him off:
"I really don't know what he meant. I haven't read the news, so I'm not in the know about the whole history, but I think Toto has already clarified what he meant. It has no effect on our relationship because he has always supported me. Otherwise, I've been in this business for a very long time, I've been told a lot of things. The media has been aggressive towards me many times, but nothing has been able to send me to the ground, and that's how it will remain. I'm still here, fighting, trying, and I love this team, even if I leave here at the end of the year.
"My goal is to perform as well as possible in the next races. If the technology is ready for that, our results will also be better," he supported and at the same time stopped Hamilton in the same sentence.
