The period of drought that he's gone through, and lacking performance to his team-mate, that I cannot compute. That's why it means so much to him, and that is what confirms that he's still got the hunger. That whole Ferrari journey is about trying to rediscover his mojo. Well, he's discovered it here.

Looking at the reaction of the 53-year-old, he has emphasized the tough spell that Hamilton has had in F1 since the end of 2021. Mercedes struggled in 2022 and 2023 to produce a solid car and this didn’t allow the latter to compete at the front. However, now that Hamilton has finally won a race after over two years, Coulthard is very optimistic about the seven-time world champion’s future with Ferrari.

Moreover, during the post-race interviews, Wolff showered praise on the Brit from the bottom of his heart.

It is the last British Grand Prix together, and the sign-off is like a fairytale. We leave the British crowds with the most iconic and most successful British driver. He’s a fantastic racer, and when he has a sniff of being able to win a grand prix, that’s when he is so strong.

The ongoing campaign has 12 races remaining on the calendar. Mercedes has shown massive improvement in terms of performance and considering this, the upcoming races will be an exciting watch. If the upward trend of the Brackley-based outfit continues, then there will be every chance of seeing Lewis Hamilton standing on the top step of the podium a few more times this year.
