Lewis Hamilton has said that he ‘loves’ Italian food, but has admitted to struggling to stay away from certain cuisines.
The seven-time Formula 1 champion moved to Maranello back in January, and has begun his career as a Ferrari driver, something he admitted has been a long-time dream of his.
While still residing in Monaco – as many F1 drivers do – Hamilton spends a lot of his time with his new team in Maranello, a little more glamorous than Brackley where he spent 12 years with his previous employers Mercedes.
Hamilton’s miserable Ferrari start
He has only achieved one top-five finish in a main race across six grands prix weekends so far with his new team, and sits 12 points behind team-mate Charles Leclerc in the drivers’ championship, down in seventh.
Ex-F1 racer Ralf Schumacher recently suggested that Hamilton may opt to end his contract with Ferrari early, if his struggles continue, but the seven-time world champion has remained positive about his move to the most successful team in F1 history.
Hamilton is hoping to challenge for an unprecedented eighth world championship title, and knows that regulation changes coming in 2026 could see a major overhaul of the current competitive order in F1.
