Lewis Hamilton on eighth Formula 1 title this time with Ferrari? "Never say never!"

Lewis Hamilton, competing for Ferrari in the 2026 Formula 1 season, refused to rule out challenging for an eighth world championship after back-to-back runner-up finishes in Canada and Monaco moved him to second in the drivers' standings. He trails championship leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes by 66 points, while holding a two-point advantage over Ferrari teammate George Russell. Speaking ahead of the Barcelona Catalunya Grand Prix, Hamilton acknowledged Ferrari still has work to do to consistently challenge Mercedes but credited his input into the car's development for the team's improved form.
