Lewis Hamilton doesn't want to repeat Alonso's and Vettel's fate.

      Lewis Hamilton became the third world champion to move to Ferrari in the past decade and a half, but two of his predecessors, Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, failed to replicate the success they had achieved in their previous career stages at the Maranello team.

      The seven-time world champion stated that he intends to change that. According to him, during the break between the Silverstone and Spa rounds, he held several important meetings not only with Scuderia engineers but also with senior management representatives. He also mentioned, and we have already quoted his words, that he sent reports to the management outlining his views on what needs to be changed within the team to achieve more success.

      It makes sense to discuss this topic in more detail.

      "The reason for this is that the team has enormous potential, and I see it," Lewis explained. "But it’s a huge organization with many moving parts. Not all of them are operating at full capacity—that is, they are not working as they should be.

      That’s exactly why the team has not achieved the successes it deserves, in my opinion. And I believe my task is to bring improvements across all areas and set requirements for everyone in the team—especially those making decisions.

      Looking back at the team’s history over the past two decades, excellent drivers have competed for Ferrari—Kimi Räikkönen, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel. All of them are world champions, yet the team hasn't won a championship since 2007. And I am not willing to accept that the same will happen to me.

      Therefore, I plan to make additional efforts. I am very fortunate because I have experience working with two other great teams. Although the situation now is different due to cultural differences and all that, I still believe that if you always follow the same path, you will get the same results. So I am simply questioning certain approaches.

      The team responds very well to this. We are achieving improvements in many areas—marketing, interaction with sponsors, and the working approaches that our engineers still practice. Much more remains to be changed, but the team reacts very positively. Ultimately, I am just trying to find allies within the organization and motivate them to push harder.

      I am here to win. A turning point is coming. I truly believe in the team’s potential and believe it can win many more championships. As long as I am here, that will be my only goal.
