Lewis Hamilton recently admitted that it would have been a bigger risk to stay at Mercedes, where there has been little development for many years, in terms of his career progression.
So, following his instinct, he ended up at Scuderia Ferrari...
“In reality, every new opportunity is a leap into the unknown. No one can predict the future; changing jobs or teams always carries risks. However, I think the truly great risk is staying stuck in a comfortable situation, because that only makes you arrogant.”
As a result of this—call it instinct or even intuition—I joined Scuderia Ferrari. I longed for a challenge, because it's exactly what I need right now. There are wonderful people here, a wonderful opportunity awaits me, I'm very excited to work together, and I believe that together we can achieve something truly special.
"Every year is a new beginning for me. Even in those times when I was constantly winning, I knew it was a state of affairs and that nothing is guaranteed in the future. Every day I have to fight hard for success, so that every day I get in the car a better driver. My intuitions and this mindset have led me to achieve far more than I ever thought I was capable of," Lewis Hamilton reflected on his situation.
