This team has absolutely every ingredient to win: Lewis Hamilton on Ferrari

He was quoted as saying, “From seeing the passion, everything under one roof, which I've never experienced before, this team has absolutely every ingredient to win. But we're also aware we have to continue to work. We have to improve and elevate everywhere - not everywhere but in certain areas, and I have no doubt that we can do that.”
As per the latest report, this week Lewis Hamilton has been staying at the factory motorhome, to best acclimatise with the Ferrari team ahead of the 2025 F1 season.
