Hamilton shuts everyone up: I'm working on a masterpiece

There is no doubt that Imola was one of the worst race weekends in Lewis Hamilton's career, thirteenth at the finish and lapped by the one who, a few months ago, was about to beat in the desert of the United Arab Emirates, if it hadn't been for a choice fatal of the tender authority. The eighth title faded within a few passages, on a Sunday that had sanctioned one and only tyrant of the asphalt; it belonged to him, but almost like a curse he finds himself chasing him 'over again', with a traveling companion: his Mercedes W13, which seems to want to do anything but fight for the positions worthy of whoever drives it. And then the other obstacle: an Englishwoman like him, at his side in the pits of the most prestigious racetracks around the globe, a young man who has shown in these first few moments of the season that he certainly isn't lacking in hunger, as if he were ready to oust the undisputed king of the modern era of Formula 1. His words are different, however, Russell speaks of his partner in a reverential tone, in short, an attitude very different from that shown on the track. A Lewis Hamilton in trouble, therefore, but if there's one thing you should never do in sport, it's underestimating a champion, and above all, as we've been taught over many seasons, if that champion is Lewis Hamilton. After the gray Sunday in Imola, many criticisms rained down on the Englishman, first of all that of the Red Bull consultant Helmut Marko, who in a 'joking' tone suggested to the seven-times world champion that perhaps it would have been better to retire at the end of last season. Ex teammate Nico Rosberg also made himself heard, underlining to the microphones of Sky that more could be done with that car, and Russell proved it by crossing the finish line in fourth position. These arrows shot at the Englishman triggered his reaction on social media. Hamilton, in fact, published a post with the following sentence in the description: 'I'm working on my masterpiece, I will decide when it's finished', demonstrating how the intention to add the eighth world title to his bulletin board is all nothing but vanished. Lewis is well aware that the current situation would not allow him to fight for the world championship, the gap from Ferrari and Red Bull is abysmal, but he also knows what the team behind him is capable of doing, never missing an opportunity to praise him even in the most difficult situations; well, his words show a particular trust in the star's team, which is not clear when, but from what he has shown he can do in the past he will get up again, and when he does, the child will be waiting for him in the front row from Stevenage who dreamed of one day racing in Formula 1, ready to take back everything that was taken from him.
