The seven-time world champion has now said to Sky Sports ahead of the Miami Gra🐻nd Prix: "People always love you when you're up, and love to kick you when you're down. It's a part of life.

"Naturally, I've ♒seen some people I've grown up admiring as a kid and even in the sport, that have come out with some things, some disrespe💝ctful, or not particularly respectful of my name.

"For me, I have to make sure I use that as fuel. I'm putting that into the pot, and I'm going to turn that in🐬to a positive and come back stronger. We are g🌄oing to come back stronger as a team.

"Four bad racesꦚ, or five, six, seven, 10 bad races is not going to stop me do🐠ing what I love doing. It's not going to stop me in my tracks.

"I've been racing for 29 years and I've had way more difficult times than this and bounced ba💧ck. It's not how you fal🍬l, it's how you get up.

"Nothing you say or do i🦩s going to stop me in my track🉐s."

Red Bull’s Marko, when asked what Hamilton might be think🍌ing after being lapped by V🃏erstappen at Imola, replied: “I mean he was lapped by us… so, maybe he should have stopped last year, he is thinking, maybe.”

Hamilton then posted on social media: “Working on my masterpiece, I’ll be the one to decide when it’s fin🌟ished.”

Former F1 world c💟hampion Mika Hakkinen has said about Hamilton this season: “For Lewis, this is a disaster. And with George [Russell] being ahead, it’s even worse.

“I wonder how Lewis behaves in the team meetings – I bet he’s sulking. I can imagine the sulking. There’s lots🥃 of complaining a💫nd whining.

“And now starts the natural thought p𒁏rocess of drivers. ‘Should I go somewhere else?’

“It’s a fact. He’s been at Mercedes for years and won ꦬmultiple championships. Now that things are not going 🎉well, he’ll start thinking of switching teams.”

Is Hamilton in among the best three drivers in F1?

Mar🍃tin Brundle, , was asked who h꧙e thought the best three drivers in the sport were.

He replied: "The top thꦺree drivers in ඣF1? That's tough!

"I think Max... Charles... and then I'm looking at Lewis, George [Russell] or Lando [Norris] as being the third. But I rate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso could be up there too!

"A top three 𓂃is really hard as you've got to le🤡ave out an absolutely world class driver. Can I do top five?!"

Hamilton criticises jewellery ban

Hamilton arrived to th෴e track in Miami on Friday wearing eight rings, fo♐ur necklaces, two earrings, a bracelet and three watches despite new FIA regulations on jewellery.

New F1 race di♋rector Niels Wittich has added the ban on wearing jewellery to the scrutineering proce✨ss.

Hamilton has a two-r🍸ace medical exemption for a nose ring which he says cannot be removed - but later comprom♑ised by removing ear piercings.

🦩“I couldn’t get any more jewellery on to💧day,” Hamilton laughed.

“I feel like it’s almost like a step backwards, if you thi🔥𝓰nk about the steps we are taking as a sport, and the more important causes that we need to be focused on.”
