“She’s focused, selfless, and she makes my weekends peaceful,” Hamilton added. “Every day I wake up, whatever time it is, she’s just positive – never a single day has she been negative, so that’s very, very important.
“I think it’s important in life to put positive people around you. You can’t be going around with deadweights, you can’t be going around with people who don’t inspire you to be better and lift you up when you’re down. You need to be around people who can do that for you, and she’s one of them.”
The news comes in the week Hamilton began his new life at Ferrari, the Briton appearing at the squad’s Italian headquarters in Maranello for the first time on Monday.
Hamilton will spend the coming days and weeks integrating with his new team, clocking up miles in the simulator and getting his hands on Ferrari Formula 1 machinery for the first time as he prepares for his debut alongside Charles Leclerc.
