Lewis Hamilton confirms Ferrari change in major reshuffle
Lewis Hamilton has confirmed a significant reshuffle within his Ferrari team, leading to added complications during the F1 race weekend in Spa. Despite the changes, Hamilton faced challenges with consecutive Q1 exits in qualifying due to spinning off the track and exceeding track limits. The modifications within Ferrari included a new rear suspension and an engineering shake-up, with a new performance engineer joining Hamilton and his race engineer Riccardo Adami. Hamilton mentioned that the new engineer is someone he has known for years, likely an internal promotion at Ferrari who previously worked with him at Mercedes. Moving forward, Hamilton sees the changes as a building point for his team to grow stronger together after a challenging weekend at the Belgian GP. The retention of Adami, despite previous tense team radio exchanges, showcases Hamilton’s commitment to improving his team dynamics while aiming for continued success on the F1 circuit.
