Things are getting better for Lewis Hamilton after a difficult start to life at Ferrari.
Lewis Hamilton expressed that he is feeling more in sync with Ferrari’s 2025 Formula 1 car after qualifying provisionally on the second row of the grid for the Monaco Grand Prix. This marks a significant improvement following challenges faced in adapting to the Ferrari SF-25 after his long tenure at Mercedes. Hamilton showed progress at the previous race in Imola, finishing fourth and now continued the positive trend in Monaco with a fourth-fastest qualifying time. Despite a major crash in practice, Ferrari managed to repair the car swiftly, allowing Hamilton to feel increasingly comfortable with it. He mentioned that the transition from a Mercedes-powered car brought its own set of challenges, but he is enjoying the new driving experience with Ferrari. Hamilton expects the Monaco GP to become more eventful with the introduction of a mandatory two-pitstop rule, providing strategic opportunities and potentially turning the race into a lottery.
