Hamilton reassured his fans and said, “We all should remember that I’m only human, right? Emotions are high when you’re in the car, when you get out the car, when you’re in the heat of the moment but I never give up and I’m not giving up.”
He also spoke about his efforts to make up for his recent performances, “I’ve been trying my hardest to see even if we can find a little bit of time and I’m here to fight, I’m here to chase still.”
Hamilton concluded by adding, “I really want to make sure at the end of the year I feel and we feel we’ve done everything we can as a team and we did it together.”
Will Lewis Hamilton be able to salvage this season or is his time as the kingpin of F1 coming to an end?
