In a bold and proactive move, seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton has revealed that he has been personally preparing and presenting detailed reports to Ferrari’s senior leadership in a determined effort to guide the team back to championship glory.

Speaking ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, Hamilton emphasized his commitment to ending Ferrari’s long title drought, with their last drivers’ championship dating back to 2007 and their most recent constructors’ title in 2008.

Hamilton, who joined Ferrari this season, made it clear he’s not content with simply following in the footsteps of past champions like Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel—both of whom left the Scuderia without titles. “I refuse for that to be the case with me,” Hamilton stated. “So I am going the extra mile.”

Drawing from his success at both McLaren and Mercedes, Hamilton has been leveraging his championship-winning experience to push for change within Ferrari. He has taken the initiative to meet with top executives including Chairman John Elkann, CEO Benedetto Vigna, and Team Principal Fred Vasseur, presenting his own strategic documents aimed at addressing key areas of improvement.

“I see a huge amount of potential within this team,” Hamilton said. “But it’s a large organization with many moving parts, and not all are firing on all cylinders.”

Currently without a win or podium finish in the first half of the 2025 season, Hamilton has described this as a crucial moment in his career. His goal is not just to compete, but to build a legacy with Ferrari—one marked by world championship victories.

By actively engaging with Ferrari’s leadership and challenging the status quo, Hamilton is demonstrating his determination to transform passion into performance, both on and off the track.
