Hamilton said he is 50 points behind Kimi Antonelli and feels refreshed after a summer of training as he chases an eighth title.
- Seven-Time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton announced on Thursday he is the "fittest ever" ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, chasing an eighth title.
- Last year, Hamilton had suggested Ferrari replace him and described himself as "useless" following a frustrating start at Zandvoort, marking a sharp reversal.
- Abandoning typical summer break habits, the 41-year-old Briton focused entirely on physical training, declaring "I come back the fittest I've ever come back in summer in the 20 years or whatever that I've been here."
- Hamilton says his Ferrari is in a "sweet spot" as he chases Mercedes leader Kimi Antonelli, thanks to Ferrari's innovative car design approach.
- The Zandvoort circuit will be removed from the Formula One calendar after this season, presenting Hamilton with his final chance to win at the track.
