Lewis Hamilton Reveals Greatest Career Goal & It’s Not the 8th Title
Lewis Hamilton reveals the biggest goal of his career
Trigger warning! Celebrating Abu Dhabi ’21. “Every drama, every controversy, every magical moment of F1 2021 is about this. And for now, everything seems to be going Max Verstappen’s way. Mercedes is not happy. Red Bull will be delighted. They have a fierce battle for the championship, but only one can win the championship, and in 2021 it will be the Dutchman. Max Verstappen is world champion for the first time! While it may have been Max Verstappen’s dream, the 2021 Abu Dhabi GP will not be Lewis Hamilton’s nightmare.
That night, the seven-time champion came very close to winning his eighth title, but couldn’t. It hasn’t happened since. Hamilton wanted to fight Verstappen for an eighth title, but Mercedes did not give him the resources to do so. You’d think the Englishman would be waiting for his chance at another championship. What do you think? This is not the biggest goal of his career.
Hamilton’s greatest achievements were short-term goals.
A month ago, Hamilton, 38, announced he would drive a Mercedes until 2025. This comes after he said he did not want to drive in F1 after he was over 40. He said he underestimated his love for the sport and his desire to play it. Hours after the announcement, he outlined his priorities. He said there was unfinished business and explained: “We’re trying to win more championships. I think unfinished business brings us back to normal. He will come back and fight for the world championship.”
The fight for a championship has not taken place for two seasons. So Red Bull won. But the seven-time champion clearly sees potential in Mercedes and Brackley. You wouldn’t think his first pole in 33 races in Hungary would have helped Mercedes. If he thought he couldn’t win another championship with Brackley, why would he stay? But given Mercedes’ current situation, the championship race is still a long way off. Therefore, Hamilton focuses on getting something done in a short period of time. After his 2021 rivals watched what Hamilton did between 2014 and 2020, the Briton will be determined to experience that winning feeling again. More than anything. Needless to say, his desire to win is at an all time high.
Lewis Hamilton wants to win, he wants to win the title
After announcing his contract extension, Hamilton said: “We’ve never been hungry for victory. I learned from every success and every failure. “We will continue to chase our dreams, fight against the odds and win again.” If that doesn’t indicate intent, then what does? The problem is that his confession failed to convince F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart. Speaking to Bild, Stewart said: “Lewis is no longer hungry [for a win].” This [8th title] also depends on Mercedes. It’s not impossible, but I don’t think he can do everything”.
The biggest obstacles blocking Hamilton’s path are Red Bull and Verstappen. Whether Stewart meant it or not, he effectively suggested that Hamilton would never be able to beat Verstappen. But the British could not sit back and listen. Of Stuart he said: “People are so impatient that they leave comments without even knowing what they are doing. One day, when I retire, I want to encourage the next generation of drivers and explain to them that they cannot afford to make mistakes. Inspire them instead of shutting them down.
There is no doubt that Lewis Hamilton will remain in F1 until he takes care of his unfinished business. Unfinished business begins with victory. Once achieved, he will be chasing this record eighth title.
