Hamilton: “Bhí mé ag braith ar Schumacher”

In Imola, Lewis Hamilton completed his first "home" Ferrari race, and moreover, with 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 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 were there, but there were a lot, and the Ferrari flag stretched out at the exit of Tosa brought back the old times. It felt like racing as Michael Schumacher did back in the day, something I've always dreamed of since I was a child. It was amazing to experience all of this, I will never forget the moment, for a brief time I felt like Schumacher myself.

As for the car, we are slowly making progress, with Ricardo Addami we achieved fantastic communication. We remained calm, we stuck to the agreed strategy throughout, which paid off. We closed out a great race, and we could have fought for the podium if it weren't for the safety car phase!” - Lewis Hamilton stated motivationally.
