Lewis Hamilton needs Ferrari miracle
Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time F1 world champion, has suggested that a ‘miracle’ would be needed for him to achieve his first grand prix victory with Ferrari. Despite his move from Mercedes to Ferrari in January, Hamilton has yet to secure a podium finish and currently occupies sixth place in the drivers’ championship. Originally, the move was intended to compete for an eighth world title, but Hamilton’s prospects seem distant this season. Although he has shown improvement with wins like in Azerbaijan and moving up the grid after penalties in Monza, Hamilton still doubts his SF-25’s capabilities. Looking ahead, Hamilton is hopeful for a turnaround in fortunes in 2026 and hopes Ferrari can develop a competitive car for him and teammate Leclerc under the new regulations. The upcoming regulation changes could provide Ferrari with an opportunity to close the gap on their competitors and may also allow Hamilton a chance to reset following his struggles since the 2022 changes.
