The seven-time world champion says the team has already made major progress and closed the gap to Mercedes, yet it must use its opportunities more consistently if it wants to remain in the title fight.

Hamilton praised the mood inside Ferrari, describing the team as highly motivated and focused. He also highlighted the strong confidence within the operation as it continues to improve the car’s performance. “I think everyone is very excited and focused in the team. The belief in the team is also very high and it is quite amazing to see,” he said.
