Lewis Hamilton Reveals ‘Dream Target’ for First British GP as Ferrari Driver After P5 in Qualifying

Every year, all eyes are on Lewis Hamilton at the British GP. Thousands of fans come to Silverstone to cheer for the local hero. This time is even more special for the seven-time world champion as he makes his debut at his home track as a Ferrari driver. Hamilton has now revealed that he will be racing to get his dream result on Sunday after a decent qualifying performance.

Ferrari has continued to fall behind Red Bull and McLaren in the past few races. This weekend the Scuderia still is not up to speed with the frontrunners. However, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc found some decent pace. Hamilton managed to qualify in fifth place, with the Monegasque driver starting the race from sixth.

Lewis Hamilton asserted that he was feeling a lot more comfortable with the car this weekend, something that had been a major problem since the start of the year. Moreover, the seven-time world champion was full of praise for the home crowd.

I definitely feel a lot better in the car this weekend. This track is incredible, the crowd’s been amazing.

Hamilton claimed that now he plans to dream of taking his first podium of the season on Sunday. The 40-year-old will push himself to the limit to secure this result. Though, this would not be so easy. Additionally, Hamilton reckoned that weather could play a major factor in the race, as it could lead to some interesting strategy calls.

I’ll dream of [a podium] tonight and try and execute tomorrow. The weather’s going to be interesting, I imagine it’s dry probably for the race but it would be cool if it’s drizzling. We’ll see.
