Lewis Hamilton Apologises to Team LH44 Battling Max Verstappen’s Orange Army: “It’s Not Easy…”

The seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, spilled some beans in a recent interview. He shared thoughts on his collision with Fernando Alonso at this year’s Belgian Grand Prix, his vision for the future, and how the teamwork at Mercedes makes him feel like he is “not alone.”

Hamilton talks about people in other fields of sport that he looks up to, like Serena Williams. He asserts the lady inspires him. He says she is an absolute “warrior.”

Furthermore, emphasizes that losing isn’t something that goes down well, “We don’t like to fail,” he said. However, it does happen sometimes, and it’s all part of the process. But how you incorporate it into your life and move forward from it counts the most.

Lewis Hamilton was extremely disappointed with what went down at Spa this season.

He shared, “I feel bad for my friends that came to (Belgium) and sat there ready to go, even if they’re one of a couple in a big orange field of Max (Verstappen) fans.”

“I’m so proud of them for the bravery they have, especially with what’s been going on this year. It’s not easy to stand in a crowd of the opponent’s fans. But they have been amazing, and so I know I’ve got to get back up for them as well. So that’s what I’m trying to do.”
