The 2025 Formula 1 season will likely be seen as one of Lewis Hamilton’s worst, with him yet to reach the podium and facing his driest season yet. Despite his struggles adapting to Ferrari, he has shown improvement in recent races, especially in qualifying. Hamilton has been outperformed by teammate Charles Leclerc, a one-lap specialist, but has been closing the gap in recent races. His improved performances have been noted, but Ferrari is hesitant about extending his contract beyond 2026, despite a guaranteed second season with the team.
