Lewis Hamilton ‘happier’ after accepting Ferrari reality
Since the summer break, F1 legend Lewis Hamilton has shown a marked improvement in mood and performance, despite initially struggling with Ferrari.
Following a string of disappointing races, including a DNF and a qualifying knock-out in Azerbaijan, Hamilton managed solid performances in Baku and the Italian GP, finishing 8th and 6th respectively.
His ability to adjust expectations and focus on maximizing results for Ferrari has been key to his recent upturn, as noted by F1 experts like Martin Brundle.
Hamilton seems to have come to terms with his teammate’s superior speed, focusing on his own race and gradual adaptation to the SF-25 car.
While Charles Leclerc remains ahead in the drivers’ championship, Hamilton’s resilience and determination could set the stage for a competitive 2026 season.
