Teamwork. everyone thinks it s just lewis and the car, but he recognizes it s everyone behind the scenes that are allowing him to be successful as well. and, i ve seen him when he wins and he gives credit to everyone. and i ve seen when he loses, you know, how he doesn t there s never blame associated with it, too. so i always feel like our best moments in life come when we re facing our most difficult challenges. both of you, though, just iconic, high-level of operation for decade more, right? so, what keeps you going? what drives you? what is it? for me, it s always just been trying to i always feel like no one cares what you did in the past. you have to be motivated to be your best this year. everyone is showing up to buy season tickets for this season, not for what happened last year or two seasons ago. i feel like people want to come see me do great. they want to see lewis do great. they follow their sports heroes and their favorite sports teams because they want to see yo
This will be like our super bowl. what is something you see within each of you that has propelled you to greatness. for me, i look at tom. he is such an icon, such a legend. how he s able to do what he does time and time again, year on year. i don t think enough people can appreciate that. and it s understandable because tom is the only one in his sport that does that. so i look to him for inspiration in terms of how can i do that? how can i raise my bar each year? how can i be a better teammate? those are qualities i feel like i ve learned from watching tom. but i think probably the things we have in common is that sheer grit, focus to be better. better than you were yesterday. and precision. there you go. attention to detail. precision, man, is can you relate to that when it comes to that precision lewis is talking about. yeah. i think it s amazing as i have become a fan of f1 and lewis over the years, just watching him compete, it s ultimate
Know, how do i just get back in the game. i always feel like i think of a super bowl in 2016 against atlanta we were down 25 pointings. you can t score 25 points in one touchdown. you have to just chip away. you have to get yourself in striking distance. that just comes with a lot of great plays and great confidence in what you re doing. i ve obviously done it long enough where there s no part of the game i feel like we re out of it. i feel like we got a shot until truly the clock says 0:0. we don t always win. that s just part of sports. lewis, back is against the wall. how does your team rally in those moments? as tom was saying, success is a great thing. and, when you re riding a wave of success, that s one thing. but when you stumble, when you fall, when there s such a large group of you, 2,000 people on my team and on the race weekend, just under 100 people, but we all feel it. and we have responsibility to pick each other up.
Play, it s an all-encompassing commitment. i want to go out and perform at my best. that requires really at this point in my life a year-round effort to do that, which is really challenging as you get older because things change in life. you know, your life when you re 25 is very different than 35. i look at 35 and think, man, my life was so simple at 35. now at 45, there are so many more unique challenges to it. and i still got to put my time and energy where it needs to be you know, so that other aspects of my life do well too. i feel when it s football season, that s where my always been my first love. and it s just amazing to still have the ability to go out and compete. both of you have pulled off incredible feats throughout your career. tom, greatest come back in super bowl history. when your back is against the wall, and lewis, i ll get to you as well. adversity strikes, up against it, how do you overcome it? where does your mind go? how do you rise to that moment? obvious
