Jenson Button believes that the 2026 Formula 1 season will be crucial for Lewis Hamilton’s career trajectory. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has faced challenges in his debut season with Ferrari after switching from Mercedes. Despite a lack of podium finishes in the 2025 season, Hamilton showed glimpses of potential, including a notable victory in the China sprint race. Button noted Hamilton’s progress but highlighted the need for more consistent performances. Looking ahead to the new era of F1 regulations in 2026, Button suggested that Hamilton could return to his peak form or consider leaving the sport if improvements are not realized. Hamilton has emphasized the importance of Ferrari improving their operational execution, particularly in qualifying, to elevate their performance on the track.
