The seven-times Formula One world champion, a record winner of 105 races and title winner with both McLaren and Mercedes, joined Ferrari at the start of the year in a headline-grabbing move.

Ferrari have not won a title of any sort since 2008 and Hamilton's arrival has had fans dreaming that he might be able to deliver but reality has not followed the script so far.

Hamilton has seen his future called into question by some television pundits, including former drivers, but he shrugged that off.

"I just don’t really think about it. I try not to really focus on opinions of people that have no insight into actually what is going on insights from individuals that have never been in my position," he said.

"So yeah, I just keep my head down and try to continue to enjoy the work that I do with the people I work with."
