Hamilton plagues self -doubt: I'm just slow!

In a surprising turn in the Formula 1 qualifications, Lewis Hamilton commented on his disappointing seventh place in sprint qualifying in Qatar. The British star driver, who will compete for Ferrari from next season, seems to be dissatisfied with his current performance. "I'm just slow. Like every weekend," emphasized the 39-year-old, who is looking for the fault for his placement. Hamilton, who is traditionally known for his self -confidence, assured that the car itself worked well, but felt humiliated because of its lack of speed. "I'm just not quick," he said. This knowledge could be alarming for the Ferrari team, which is looking forward to his service, because it should shine in the new racing car.

In addition, Hamilton's contract with Mercedes caused additional stress because he cannot prepare his switch to Ferrari as desired. According to Independent prevented Mercedes-Boss Toto Wolff that HAMALTON can end his contract prematurely. The upcoming test for Ferrari after the last race in Abu Dhabi is in danger, since Hamilton is bound to his sponsorship obligations until December 31. Hamilton himself commented on ambivalent about driving the Ferrari for the first time and believes that the delay could make the start of his new season difficult. "I will certainly miss something," he admitted, "it delays the process and makes the start of the season more difficult."

Hamilton has won twice with Mercedes last season and is looking forward to completing the year with the team at a high level. "All I want is that we do our best and end the last two races with a win," he added. In an emotional end of his career at Mercedes, Hamilton is determined to give everything in the remaining races and to say goodbye to a strong appearance.
