Lewis Hamilton’s major weakness could end F1 career
Former F1 racer Ralf Schumacher has suggested Lewis Hamilton’s struggles in the sport are due to his attitude towards simulator work.
Hamilton joined Ferrari in 2025 but failed to secure a single grand prix podium in 24 races, finishing sixth in the drivers’ championship.
Schumacher believes Hamilton needs to embrace simulator work to improve his performance, as he has heard Hamilton is not a fan of simulators.
With new regulations in 2026 and a new generation of cars, there might be an opportunity for Hamilton to excel, provided he adjusts his approach.
Schumacher emphasized that Hamilton’s reluctance towards simulator work and his quest for old driving feel might be affecting his performance.
The future beyond 2026 is uncertain for Hamilton at Ferrari, with rumors suggesting he might retire if he doesn’t adapt to the changes in the sport.
