Hamilton said he had written a series of documents for Ferrari’s leadership this year outlining areas for improvement.

He has met with chairman John Elkann, chief executive officer Benedetto Vigna and team principal Frederic Vasseur since the British Grand Prix to go over both his issues with this year’s car and thoughts about future development.

“There have been great responses,” he added. “There are lots of improvements that need to be made, but [they’re] very responsive and I’m trying to create allies within the organisation.

“I’m here to win. It’s crunch time for me and I truly believe in the potential of this team, I believe they can win multiple championships moving forward. That’s my sole goal.”

Ferrari are introducing a new rear suspension for this weekend’s Belgian Grand Prix, with the hope it will improve performance by allowing them to run the car lower without hitting the track too much.

“We’ll get to test the suspension tomorrow and I am sure there will be learning from it,” said Hamilton.

“We will figure out how to extract performance from it. On the simulator there was no difference, but I am sure there will be differences across different circuits.”
