Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton claimed that his experience with the Prancing Horse thus far has exceeded his expectations.

The seven-time world champion made a blockbuster move from Mercedes at the start of the season, and while his performances on the track have underwhelmed — he is yet to finish on the podium in a feature race — the overall experience of driving for the iconic team has been a dream come true for the Brition.

“It’s not at all what I expected, it’s more intense in so many areas.  I didn’t expect that. I didn’t think the team at the factory would be so impressive. I was expecting energy, but this... it ‘s even more intense than I imagined,” Hamilton told French publication RTBF.
