HAMILTON FEELS HE IS “HAVING TO REMIND PEOPLE OF WHO I AM” AFTER THIRD PODIUM OF 2026

Lewis Hamilton believes he's "having to remind people of who I am" after a strong start to his second season with Ferrari. After failing to reach the podium in any race last year, Hamilton has already secured three rostrum finishes in 2026, including a P2 at Monaco. This result elevates him to second in the drivers' championship, a position he hasn't held since the end of the 2021 season.

Hamilton credits team principal Fred Vasseur for implementing crucial changes he requested, which have unlocked his competitive edge. While acknowledging it's still early, Hamilton is grateful for the improved reliability and performance. He emphasizes the team's commitment to keep pushing, seeing an easier path in chasing rather than defending. This resurgence marks a significant turnaround, demonstrating Hamilton's determination to reclaim top form. The challenge now is to maintain this momentum and convert podiums into victories as the championship battle intensifies.
