For the first time since losing her title last year Formula 1 by Max Ferstappen, spoke o Lewis Hamiltonon the sidelines of winter car development tests in Bahrain.
The Briton mentioned in his relationship with the Dutch world championat skirmishes that they had during last season, but also for his abstention from social media.
Hamilton’s statements in detail:
“When we meet Max in the paddock everything is normal. We are two different drivers who have a lot in common, in terms of how much we love what we do, driving “initially stressed the Briton, who went on to talk about the fights he had with Ferstappen and the much-discussed conflict between them at last year’s Silverstone Grand Prix.
“If I had sat down to read all the comments (on social media) after Silverstone, all the racist verbal violence, I would have suddenly come down to a very negative place. So I do not allow this fickle medium to define my life. You have to be careful, because the way the media inflates an intense situation, this, among other things, creates a narrative for the viewers. “.
“On the other hand, we are relentless. He is, so am I. This must be, I imagine, the way you work – but also with a little compassion. We are fighters out there, there are no friends on the piste, just as there are no friends in skiing, for example. This is a given. Sometimes we do things right, and sometimes we do wrong. What matters is that we remain human when we get out of the car and maintain that respect. “.
