Hamilton vows to keep pushing Ferrari towards title success

Lewis Hamilton says he will continue to push Ferrari to become a championship-winning organisation for as long as he remains with the team. The seven-time champion has said his forceful approach to change is "how it is going to be", despite the challenge of joining a team where Charles Leclerc is a homegrown driver.

Hamilton is currently fourth in the drivers' championship, one point behind George Russell and 17 behind Max Verstappen, with three rounds remaining. Ferrari has also faced tensions between its two drivers, including a battle in Mexico City that cost the team a likely one-two finish.

Hamilton said he wants to work with everyone at the team to elevate performance and believes Ferrari can fight for the championship next year. He also said work is under way on keeping the strengths of the SF-26 chassis, while the power unit, which lacks top-end speed, is an area he hopes will improve for 2027.
