“lewis, you mentioned the emotion and never crying before. do you think this is part of the healing process after what happened in ’21? this is the final piece of the jigsaw to help you get over what happened there, to compartmentalize it and be able to move on?”

lewis: “i mean i think that’s a long-winded question. um, i mean… i think only time will tell. what i can say is that i’m not giving up, i feel like i’m making the right decisions with my life, with how i prepare, and how i manage my time, with the decision i’ve taken for example for next year, the commitment i still have to this team, and the love i still have for this team, and the love that i still have for my job.

i really, really love this job and there’s never gonna be anything that comes close to it. and it’s something that i’m incredibly grateful for, being amongst these 20 drivers, within this great sport that’s having such a momentous time. you know, we just had the launch of the trailer of the movie today and just - it’s a lot. 

honestly, when i came back in 2022, i thought I was over it and i know i wasn’t, and it’s taken a long time for sure to heal that kind of feeling, and that’s only natural for anyone that has that experience. i’ve just been continuing to try and work on myself and find that inner peace day by day.”
