Whatever way you dice it, Lewis Hamilton’s first Formula 1 year at Ferrari was a major disappointment.
“Despite high expectations, Lewis Hamilton’s debut season at Ferrari in Formula 1 was a big letdown, lacking championship contention or many podium finishes.
His only highlight was a win in China, while finishing far behind his teammate Charles Leclerc in points and top-three finishes.
Struggles with the Italian language and culture, personal issues like the loss of his dog Roscoe, and a difficult relationship with his race engineer compounded his challenges at Ferrari in 2025.
However, Hamilton remains determined and optimistic for the upcoming season, showing resilience and a positive mindset towards future success with the team.
As Hamilton prepares for 2026, the hope is that with a refreshed mindset, improved familiarity with Ferrari, and a smoother personal life, he can showcase his true potential and bounce back stronger on the race track.”
