Hamilton: "I felt like Schumacher"

In Imola, Lewis Hamilton completed his first "home" Ferrari race, achieving the best result of the 2025 season so far. The fans were not ungrateful, everything was bathed in red...

The seven-time world champion felt like he was in another's skin:

The supporters were incredible, it was an unbelievable feeling to see the "red sea" in the stands. I couldn't even guess how many there were, but there were a lot, and the Ferrari flag stretched out at the Tosa exit reminded me of the old days. It felt like racing as Michael Schumacher once did, something I have always dreamed of since I was a child. It was great to experience all of this, I will never forget the moment, for a brief time I could feel like Schumacher myself.

As for the car, we are slowly making progress, we had fantastic communication with Ricardo Addami. We remained calm, sticking to the agreed strategy, which paid off. We finished the race well, and we could have fought for the podium if it weren't for the safety car phase!” - Lewis Hamilton stated motivatedly.
