I think the important thing is just how you continue to get up, and you’ve got to continue to dig deep even when you feel like you’re at the bottom of the barrel. There’s definitely been days between 2021 and here where I didn’t feel like I was good enough, or whether I was going to get back to where I am today."
I mean, c'mon, he's the winningest driver in F1. He can't handle 2.5 years without a win? What about Alonso? Eleven years without a win, and he's not whining. What about all the great drivers who never won a championship?

The struggle has been real when you need actual skill to win a race - despite his car since 2022 still being one of the fastest in F1 and many times Toto claiming they had the fastest car on the grid (and certainly the fastest several of the last few recent races).
As they say, sometimes (in Ham's case) it's better to be lucky than good.
