Despite closing the gap to Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton remains unsatisfied at Ferrari, his goal being victory rather than just outperforming his teammate. Hamilton’s performance in Miami showed promise, yet challenges persist in achieving success due to the team’s overall performance. While facing disappointment within Ferrari and from the public, support for Hamilton remains strong among the tifosi.
The excitement surrounding Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari has somewhat waned, with the focus shifting to the team’s performance rather than Hamilton’s individual results. Even in Italy, there is understanding that Hamilton needs time to adjust to the new team. The initial high hopes and enthusiasm for Hamilton’s partnership with Ferrari have been met with the reality of the challenges faced by the team.
Hamilton’s transition from Mercedes to Ferrari involves a steep learning curve, with the need to adapt to a new environment both on and off the track. Similar trends in Hamilton’s performance comparisons with Russell at Mercedes and Leclerc at Ferrari suggest a period of adjustment is to be expected. While progress is being made, it is clear that Hamilton’s journey with Ferrari is a process that will require time and patience.
