Lewis Hamilton heavily criticised by former F1 driver.
Former F1 driver Marc Surer called Lewis Hamilton a “spoiled child” who can only win races with the best car, as reported by Austrian magazine Vollgas. Hamilton has struggled in his debut season with Ferrari and has yet to achieve a podium finish in 17 grands prix. Surer pointed out that Hamilton has been outperformed by his Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc and has faced challenges in recent years. Hamilton’s performance has been compared unfavorably to drivers like Fernando Alonso, who can maximize their machinery even when it’s not the best. Despite a recent breakthrough with Ferrari’s 2025 car, Hamilton’s results have not been consistent, with him currently sitting in sixth place in the world championship standings, 44 points behind Leclerc. Ferrari has also fallen to third in the constructors’ championship, overtaken by Mercedes with seven rounds left in the season.
