Lewis Hamilton identifies crucial characteristic that facilitated a comeback to race victories

Lewis Hamilton discusses the challenging two-year period leading up to his triumph at Silverstone

Lewis Hamilton has highlighted the key characteristic that enabled him to get back to his winning form.

Lewis Hamilton achieved his first victory since 2021 at the F1 British Grand Prix held at Silverstone, marking a significant win as Max Verstappen's period of dominance had commenced since then.

Hamilton secured a win in Belgium as well, following the disqualification of the original winner, George Russell. This victory marks his second triumph in the last three grand prix races.

“It has primarily been a mental struggle,” he mentioned to Esquire regarding his two-year struggle with a lackluster Mercedes.

"Maintaining your mental health and learning new skills."

"In the end, it consistently boils down to perseverance and commitment. Putting in the effort always yields results in the long run."

"I believe I discovered that life is essentially about enduring pain and continuing on, and about how much suffering you can withstand while still progressing. Isn't that what life is all about?"

"It’s not about the fall; it’s about the recovery. It’s about consistently putting in effort each day. It’s about building relationships with your colleagues."

“During this time, I think I’ve become a better teammate since we’ve had more opportunities to work on our communication skills.”

At long last, Hamilton made his way back to the highest spot on the podium at his home Grand Prix.

The win at Silverstone marked an extraordinary ninth triumph in Formula 1.

“People were describing it as a fairy tale,” he mentioned.

"It was truly surprising. Heading into that weekend, I never anticipated that such an outcome would be possible."

"It had been ages. Countless thoughts run through your head, and gradually, you begin to believe in some of them."

"Ultimately, there came a day when I could truly shine, and as a team, we all performed exceptionally well, which effectively put an end to any doubts."

"And it aids in your recovery process. It was truly wonderful to accomplish this in my home country, surrounded by my family."

"The final event with Mercedes at Silverstone was truly enchanting."

Hamilton has agreed to a deal to join Ferrari starting in 2025.

The choice to pair the most accomplished driver in Formula 1 with the sport's leading team has become even more intriguing due to Mercedes' recent comeback.

At present, Hamilton's two triumphs combined with Russell's success in Austria make them the main contenders against Red Bull, boasting a significantly more competitive vehicle compared to Ferrari.
