F1 rival claims Lewis Hamilton ‘habits’ to blame for Ferrari slump
One of Lewis Hamilton’s rivals on the 2025 F1 grid has hinted that his ‘habits’ might be contributing to his struggles since joining Ferrari after leaving Mercedes.
Despite a successful tenure at Mercedes, Hamilton’s move to Ferrari hasn’t yielded the results he envisioned, with him currently trailing behind teammate Charles Leclerc in the standings.
Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar, a standout rookie this season, suggested that Hamilton’s challenges could stem from adapting to a different car after being entrenched in the Mercedes setup for years.
While critics question Hamilton’s ability to adapt to Ferrari at this stage of his career, the seven-time champion remains focused on proving his critics wrong and finding success with his new team.
As F1 heads to the Canadian GP weekend, Hamilton is determined to overcome any hurdles and showcase his experience to mount a comeback and potentially shine brighter in the upcoming 2026 season.
