Hamilton hoping to refind Ferrari 'enjoyment'

Lewis Hamilton is determined to reignite his joy of racing in the second half of the Formula One season after bringing the first 14 races of the year to a close on a disconsolate and downbeat note.

Speaking before this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix, the 40-year-old said he was as fired up as ever to wrestle the maximum from the remaining 10 races and, most importantly, enjoy himself having endured a torrid start to his new career with Ferrari.

"I feel determined and motivated to [move forward]," he said. "We're going to work hard, keep our heads down, try to change a few things in our approach and start to enjoy ourselves.

"There's been so much pressure in this first half of the season that's not been the most enjoyable. So I think just remembering that we love what we do. We're all in this together and yeah, we're trying to have some fun."
