Lewis Hamilton: Ferrari F1 car ‘most difficult I’ve ever driven’ as Silverstone streak ends
Lewis Hamilton described Ferrari’s 2025 F1 car as the most difficult he’s ever driven in wet conditions after facing challenges at the British Grand Prix, where his podium streak at Silverstone ended with a fourth-place finish. Despite being in contention for the podium, Hamilton struggled with tyre wear and dropped back during the switch to slick tyres, ultimately finishing five seconds behind Nico Hulkenberg. Hamilton acknowledged the tough conditions and admitted that his SF-25 was “unbelievably tricky” to drive, especially in the wet. He highlighted the need to analyze data from the race and work with Ferrari’s design team to address the car’s performance in such conditions for future races. Additionally, Hamilton mentioned that the car’s handling didn’t improve as the track dried out, leading to mistakes and a challenging race for both him and teammate Charles Leclerc.
