Scuderia Ferrari has one of the most prestigious supporters. Interviewed by Corriere della Serra ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton said he was a big Ferrari fan. “If I could sit with the fans there I would support Charles,” the seven-time world champion revealed.

Still in difficulty on Friday (10th then 12th in free practice), the Briton knows that his chances will be slim this weekend in the Principality. But he remains optimistic for the rest of the season: “Of course I still believe in an eighth title. I want to win to complete all the work of the guys behind the scenes, it’s not just about records.”
