A remarkable mental transformation has been showcased by Lewis Hamilton throughout the ongoing Formula 1 season. After struggling through a desolate campaign last year that even saw him openly questioning his position within the Scuderia Ferrari squad, the seven-time world champion has rediscovered his absolute peak performance on track.
This major turnaround was highlighted by 1996 world champion Damon Hill during an appearance on Sky Sports' The F1 Show. According to Hill, the British racing icon has successfully pieced his mindset back together following the devastating championship decider in Abu Dhabi back in 2021, an event that left deep psychological scars.
"I think there’s a gravitas that Lewis has. I mean, don’t forget what he was like last year. He was crushed," Hill stated while reflecting on the intense mental hurdles the veteran driver has had to overcome.
"He’s been crushed since Abu Dhabi, in effect, in 2021. He’s been fighting his way back. He’s performed incredibly well this year, much better than I thought, considering I thought it was going to be very difficult, but he’s rebuilt himself," Hill added regarding the brilliant redemption story.
This resurgence is clearly reflected in his multiple podium finishes, pole positions, and maiden victory in red overalls. Coupled with a shift in technical regulations that suits his driving style much better than the previous ground-effect era, Hamilton continues to silence his doubters with elite racecraft.
