Lewis Hamilton defends focus after Ferrari chairman urges ‘less talk’

Lewis Hamilton has told Ferrari chairman John Elkann that he is motivated to deliver success for the Italian team after he was urged to “talk less and focus more on his driving”.

Mr Elkann took aim at Mr Hamilton and team-mate Charles Leclerc after both drivers failed to finish at the last round in Brazil.

Mr Hamilton, who has failed to land a podium in his 21 outings for Ferrari so far, described his first season after the race in Interlagos as a “nightmare”.
