Motorsport: Hamilton optimistic of elusive first Ferrari podium

Motorsport: Lewis Hamilton remains optimistic that he can claim a maiden podium with Ferrari this year. Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the seven-time champion stressed that a win was unlikely, but that a top-three finish was realistic in the final eight races. Hamilton has never gone through a complete season without a podium finish and has faced mounting criticism of his declining form, including a warning from former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone to retire before he is forgotten.
