Lewis Hamilton recently admitted that staying at Mercedes, which had barely progressed for many years, would have been a bigger risk for his career development.
So he ended up listening to his instincts and ended up at Scuderia Ferrari…
“In fact, every new opportunity is a leap into the unknown. No one can predict the future, whether it's changing jobs or teams, it always comes with a risk. However, I think the real big risk is getting stuck in a comfortable situation, because that only makes you overconfident.”
As a result—let's call it instinct or even intuition—I joined Scuderia Ferrari. I needed a challenge, because that's exactly what I need right now. There are great people here, an incredible opportunity awaits me, I'm looking forward to working together, and I believe we can achieve something truly special.
"Every year is a new beginning for me. Even when I was winning consistently, I knew it was a temporary state, and nothing was guaranteed for the future. Every day I have to fight hard for success, to be a better driver every day. My intuition and this attitude have led me to achieve much more than I thought I was capable of," Lewis Hamilton reflected on his situation.
