Lewis Hamilton dismissed suggestions he was losing faith in new team Ferrari after just two races as “complete rubbish”. The seven-time world champion has had a mixed start to the life with the Scuderia, winning the sprint in China before both Ferrari cars were disqualified from the main race.

Lewis Hamilton completed a round trip of approximately 14,200 miles, just for one day, to attend a Ferrari meeting. Lewis Hamilton clocked up the sizable air miles between the F1 grands prix in China and Japan. He travelled back to Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters in Italy for a 24-hour period to address what went wrong in China.

The Lewis Hamilton era in scarlet red has been rather medium. A lackluster qualifying in Australia combined with a mid-tier race and poor strategy left the Brit feeling grim heading into Shanghai.
