Lewis Hamilton confessed that he feels "a world away from last year” days after spending summer break with Kim Kardashian.
The seven-time Formula One world champion was having his worst time at Ferrari last year, but after winning five podiums and a Grand Prix last month, he now feels proud of his journey.
The 41-year-old suffered a Q2 exit in Budapest last season while his teammate Charles Leclerc took pole. Following the disappointment, Hamilton at that time claimed that he was “absolutely useless” and even suggested that Ferrari should “probably need to change driver.”
But 12 months later he is now proud of himself and feels confident ahead of the 2026 Hungarian Grand Prix.
Hamilton ‘worlds away from last year’
As the Ferrari driver recalled his journey, he also hinted at his documentary in the future.
Ahead of the Hungarian GP, he said, “I'm definitely proud of everyone in the team, and also I am definitely proud of myself for getting myself out of the place that I was in. One day when I do my documentary, I'll tell you all about that weekend and what led up into it.”
“But to come from there, even coming into this week, I felt a lot from last week [at the Belgian Grand Prix], and I arrived worlds away from where I was last year. I feel really grateful for the way we've developed as a team. The pieces to the puzzle have moved and come together. And now we come here with a great car, with a great package as a whole that we can fight with," he added.
The Brits explained that every weekend he aimed to “extract most from the weekend,” noting that Ferrari has had a couple of good weekends recently.
It is worth noting that Hamilton, who spent his summer while spending quality time with girlfriend Kim Kardashian and her kids, finished his last two races in Britain and Belgium in third and fourth while his teammate Leclerc finished first and second in the same races.
