Rome, Mar 14 (LaPresse) – ‘What would I be happy with at the end of 2025? I would be content with first place. It will be difficult, but we are made to win and we want to win. And then if I can speak better Italian, I'll be very satisfied.’ So says Lewis Hamilton, in an interview with Repubblica, on the eve of his debut as a Ferrarista in the Formula 1 World Championship, which kicks off this weekend in Melbourne. ‘My style,’ he says, ‘has changed, fashion is as mobile as our sport. In fact, it's like a film. A film that started in Melbourne, with McLaren, in 2007. It was ‘incredible. Coming out of the pits, I couldn't stop giggling with my dad, as if to say: we did it. My dad will be here this weekend, and for me, getting there in the Ferrari, it's hard to explain: it will be exciting. Over the years I've gone up and down looking at the red garage, and now I'm in the red garage. It is definitely the most exciting time of my life.‘My parents,’ says the champion, ‘sacrificed everything so that I could race. My mother let me go to live with Dad and gave up seeing me. It was difficult for her. My father worked a thousand jobs and spent all his savings with his wife. I didn't tell them about Ferrari until after I'd signed. Having them all there at Fiorano was special. Mum was filming me with her mobile phone. I hadn't seen her so happy for a long, long time'.
