Lewis Hamilton refuses to rule out a title fight

It is absolutely wild to see Lewis Hamilton back on the podium with such consistency. With two straight P2 finishes in Monaco and Canada, the seven-time World Champion has clearly found his rhythm, securing three podiums in his last five starts. This is a massive shift from last year, where he didn't see the rostrum a single time on a Sunday.

Sitting second in the Drivers' standings, 66 points off Kimi Antonelli and two points clear of George Russell, Hamilton is starting to believe. He credits the progress to his collaboration with Team Principal Fred Vasseur and his direct input into the car's development. While he admits Ferrari still has work to do to catch the power of Mercedes, he insists the team's downforce package is strong.

He is looking at improving efficiency and drag to chip away at the deficit on the straights. As the man himself said, "Never say never," and he is determined to keep pushing the development of this machine to its absolute limit as we head into the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
