F1 champion claims Ferrari have ‘lost something’ amid Lewis Hamilton arrival
Three-time F1 champion Nigel Mansell believes Ferrari lost something over the winter break before Lewis Hamilton joined the team. Hamilton ended his 12-year tenure with Mercedes in 2024 and pursued a fresh start with Ferrari. Despite the move, Hamilton has struggled to reach the podium halfway through the 2025 season. Mansell, who drove for Ferrari in 1989 and 1990, expressed his wishes for the team’s resurgence. Hamilton’s current season with Ferrari has been marked by a lack of podium finishes compared to the previous year’s success with Carlos Sainz. Looking ahead, Hamilton is already focusing on improvements for the 2026 season, vowing to infuse more of his racing DNA into the car design based on his experiences in 2025.
