THE SWEATERNOTES

Lewis Hamilton detailing his focus on the bigger picture; on 2027. "I don't think everything's going to get squashed and sorted out in one meeting, but it is importantwhat we build now will put us in the right position for next year, and in some ways I'm glad we've had that experience. Of course, rather we had won and had a 1-2, but from that you can learn and we can only really get stronger from that, I think." "And I think in the background, you know, we've got these incredible people that are working so hard in the background. Of course, we know we've been on a bit of the back foot on power this year, but the natural car has been phenomenal all year, great reliability, and every day I go out on track, I'm always thinking of getting the absolute maximum for them. I don't always achieve it, and from that you learn." "I think with the years and experience, you understand the bigger picture when you're getting to work with such a large group of people, and that's, I would say that's the privilege of where I've, the years that I've spent here, and the teams that I've got towork in, and I really do believe that next year we could win, we could be fighting for worldchampionship. That is the sole goal." "So right now, in the background, my focus is on continuing to hold on to the performance we've picked up in the last few races in terms of execution, and then working on next year's car. I obviously can't do anything about the engine except for just push them and they'll continue to push in the background, I believe they are, but the car, it's steering it, making sure we're steering in the right direction and making sure we arrive next year on the right foot, and then Fred's job is to make sure that we are all running in the same direction." "Of course we're going to race hard, but fair and making sure that we get the maximum and the best result for the team." F1 2026 | Brazil | Sky Sports UK

'When I look at Lewis, he makes me not very happy to have only won one championship.' 😭🩵 Lando Norris on Lewis Hamilton's 400th Grand Prix: "I think it's a pretty incredible achievement for him to fight for this long. He's a good inspiration for many of us. When I look at Lewis, he makes me not very happy to have only won one championship, but that's in a good way that i can look at him and see him and his age, his form, and makes me believe more than ever that i could fight for many, many more years, and that's something I look forward to doing."
