Hamilton ‘running out of time’ at ‘fickle’ Ferrari claims F1 champion
A former Formula 1 world champion has raised concerns that Lewis Hamilton might not have enough time to succeed at Ferrari.
After joining Ferrari this year, leaving behind Mercedes after 12 seasons, Hamilton has yet to achieve a podium and currently sits seventh in the drivers’ championship.
Hamilton’s struggles, particularly in comparison to teammate Charles Leclerc, have sparked doubts about his future at Ferrari.
Jacques Villeneuve suggested that Ferrari may not offer Hamilton the same patience he had at Mercedes, which could hinder his performance.
Hamilton’s ex-teammate George Russell acknowledged Hamilton’s dissatisfaction at Ferrari but remains hopeful for a turnaround.
Villeneuve believes that Hamilton needs a breakthrough, possibly starting at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy, to reignite his career with Ferrari.
