“Lewis is slowly but surely putting his foot down, making this his team.”
1997 F1 world champion Jacques Villeneuve believes Lewis Hamilton is leading the charge to turn Ferrari into a title-contending team once again. Ferrari has had a disappointing start to the 2025 F1 season, being the only team in the top four constructors’ standings without a win. In the midst of high hopes for this season, Ferrari’s new SF-25 car has not met expectations due to its performance issues over one lap. The upcoming Belgian Grand Prix is crucial for Ferrari, as they are introducing a new suspension upgrade that could turn their season around. Hamilton, aiming to make Ferrari “his team,” is gradually improving and becoming more comfortable according to Villeneuve and ex-F1 driver Stefan Johansson, emphasizing the importance of driver-car comfort for optimal performance.
