Lewis Hamilton has stated his results at the start of the 2026 season have \u201cproven\u201d that it’s possible to recover positive form through hard work.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Hamilton joined Ferrari last year but endured a miserable opening campaign with the Italian squad.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
However, he has taken a substantial step forward with the introduction of the new technical regulations this year and sealed his first win with Ferrari last Sunday in Barcelona.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
When asked if he sees the win as uniquely special, Hamilton told media including RacingNews365: \u201cThey\u2019re all special in their own way.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are different journeys to each of them. The one in Silverstone in 2024 was in its own way a monumental moment for me, because it\u2019s a moment where I never thought maybe that I\u2019d ever get to win again.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then after a year like last year, there were definitely moments that I was like, ‘Sheesh, maybe it is true that when you get to a certain point, you lose it.’\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I\u2019ve proven that you don\u2019t. You always have it and it just takes work.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Hamilton currently sits second in the drivers’ championship, 41 points down on Kimi Antonelli who dominated the opening portion of the season.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
As Hamilton seeks to inject himself in the title fight, the seven-time champion insisted there is no question over his physical attributes almost 20 years deep into his F1 career.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cIt takes perseverance, that constant believing in yourself to tap into your inner self and keep yourself alive, keep yourself fit,\u201d\u00a0he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I feel great physically, racing with 19-year-olds who are doing amazing, but I feel great.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton has stated his results at the start of the 2026 season have \u201cproven\u201d that it’s possible…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":738992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-746180","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746180","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746180"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746180\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746180"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746180"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746180"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
