Lewis Hamilton isn’t winning at Ferrari – get over it!
Despite the hype and high expectations at the beginning of Lewis Hamilton’s first F1 season with Ferrari in 2025, it is now evident that both Hamilton and Ferrari have not been able to compete for the championship as anticipated.
Criticism from the British and Italian media towards Hamilton and Ferrari may be unwarranted, especially when comparing the level of scrutiny faced by other drivers like Carlos Sainz and Max Verstappen under similar circumstances.
It requires time for Hamilton to adapt to a new team like Ferrari, especially when the car is tailored to suit the driving style of his teammate, Charles Leclerc.
Hamilton has openly shared the challenges he faces while adjusting to the set-up preferences of Leclerc, highlighting the need for a period of transition and understanding within the team.
Moving forward, Ferrari may need to consider restructuring the car to better accommodate Hamilton’s driving style and preferences in order to maximize his potential and competitiveness in the 2026 season.
