The Formula 1 season moves to the United States, with the Miami Grand Prix taking the spotlight. Lewis Hamilton is still adjusting to his new role at Ferrari after switching from Mercedes.
Hamilton participated in the drivers’ press conference on Thursday before the weekend’s race. In addition to the usual questions, the 40-year-old was asked about his experience at Ferrari’s headquarters in Maranello, Italy.
He has spent the past few days at the team’s headquarters reviewing data and working on strategies to enhance performance moving forward. However, Hamilton revealed that some Italian foods have been causing him problems. Not surprisingly, it’s the pizza.
Yeah, I love it. Trying to stay off the pizzas and the pasta, which I’m not doing very well with if I’m honest. I was there last week and had like three pizzas in two days. I have my hookup – he keeps bringing me a pizza. I text him late after the day and I’m like, “Hey, can I get a pizza?” He keeps bringing me one. But yeah, I really am enjoying it.
Hamilton arrives in Miami needing a strong performance. The British driver didn’t provide many details about what’s been holding him or the car back, but confirmed that they are putting in a lot of effort to make improvements. This is reflected in his recent seven-day stint with the team in Maranello.
Currently, Hamilton is in 7th place in the standings with 31 points, 68 points behind the leader, Oscar Piastri.
