Ralf Schumacher points out Lewis Hamilton’s main weakness at Ferrari
Ralf Schumacher believes that Lewis Hamilton’s speed is no longer his main weakness at Ferrari, as Hamilton has shown progress recently, despite a challenging first season at the team where he is yet to reach the podium. The SF-25’s performance has not met expectations, and Hamilton has been overshadowed by teammate Charles Leclerc. Despite facing confidence setbacks before the summer break, Hamilton has shown glimpses of his raw speed since returning, matching Leclerc’s pace until unfortunate incidents like his crash at the Dutch Grand Prix. Schumacher points out that Hamilton’s main issue now seems to be consistency, as shown by mistakes like spinning at Zandvoort and receiving penalties. Despite an extended adaptation period, Hamilton’s struggles at Ferrari have surprised many, attributing part of the challenges to car setup limitations and new equipment compared to his previous team, Mercedes. Schumacher emphasizes that Hamilton’s high expectations and salary at Ferrari make his lack of results so far even more disappointing.
