Lewis Hamilton ‘not enough’ for Ferrari as iconic era comes to abrupt end
Italian F1 media assessed Lewis Hamilton’s performance at Silverstone following Ferrari’s disappointment in missing out on a podium finish with Nico Hulkenberg. Hamilton, who had consistently been on the podium at Silverstone since 2014, lost his streak last weekend when he was overtaken by Hulkenberg. Despite showing promise in qualifying, Hamilton couldn’t capitalize on Ferrari’s pace improvement. La Gazzetta dello Sport praised Hamilton’s aggressive driving but noted that his efforts fell short. Ferrari also struggled at Silverstone, with both Hamilton and his teammate Leclerc facing handling issues in the wet conditions. Leclerc had a challenging race, finishing P14 after struggling with a difficult car setup and making a late costly mistake. Despite Ferrari’s underwhelming performance, Hamilton’s victory over Leclerc was a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing race.
