Lewis Hamilton Ferrari frustrations are MOUNTING
Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton is aiming to bring change to Ferrari’s race weekend operations after joining the team in January, struggling to reach the podium while teammate Charles Leclerc shines. Despite efforts to challenge the team, including questioning engineers’ approaches, Hamilton remains 25 points behind Leclerc in the drivers’ championship, sitting in sixth place. While facing challenges with the SF-25 challenger, Hamilton has expressed frustration over the team’s ongoing issues and uncertain upgrade schedule. Despite consistent top-six finishes and recent out-qualifying of Leclerc, Hamilton must show more to compete for podiums and victories, aligning with Ferrari’s goal of contending for their first championship since 2008. The 40-year-old driver and his team need to work together to succeed in the competitive 2026 season ahead.
