Lewis Hamilton used the negative stuff people said about him as fuel

Lewis Hamilton claimed his 106th Formula 1 victory at the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix driving for Ferrari, his first win since the 2024 Belgian Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion said he used negative comments from doubters as motivation, having endured a difficult debut season with Ferrari that left him questioning his abilities. The win came after three strong consecutive races in Canada, Monaco, and Barcelona, where Hamilton outperformed teammate Charles Leclerc.
