Former Formula 1 driver Marc Surer has criticized Lewis Hamilton, labeling him a “spoiled child” who only wins races when he has the best car at his disposal. Hamilton, in his first season with Ferrari, is struggling with an uncompetitive and problematic SF-25 car, with limited success so far. Despite a win in the China Sprint Race, Hamilton has found it challenging to perform well in the car and has referred to it as “alien” to him. Surer points out that Hamilton has yet to secure a full Grand Prix podium, as Ferrari shifts focus to the 2026 car due to upcoming rule changes in F1. Surer contrasts Hamilton with Fernando Alonso, highlighting Alonso’s ability to excel in difficult cars, unlike Hamilton. Surer also mentions the challenge Hamilton faces with a fast teammate in Charles Leclerc, similar to his struggles with George Russell at Mercedes. Lewis Hamilton’s adaptation to Ferrari has been a topic of scrutiny and comparison within the racing community.
