Briton has struggled in uncompetitive Scuderia car
‘It’s been an emotional rollercoaster … but that’s life’
Lewis Hamilton has described his time at Ferrari as an “emotional rollercoaster” as he prepares to drive for the Scuderia at their home grand prix in Monza for the first time this weekend.
Hamilton, who observed bluntly that he had no expectation his first season would prove so “volatile”, has struggled with an uncompetitive car as well as having to adapt to a new team, having enjoyed enormous success in the previous 12 years with Mercedes.
It has been a tough transition and he goes into the Italian Grand Prix after an uncharacteristic error at the Dutch GP that led to his crashing out. Those travails were later compounded by a five-place grid penalty for failing to slow sufficiently under a yellow flag before the race at Zandvoort.
