Lewis Hamilton recently made a significant F1 change to aid his progress at settling into his new Ferrari team.
Ferrari has confirmed that Lewis Hamilton is adopting Charles Leclerc’s set-up for the upcoming races to improve performance. Leclerc’s shift towards an oversteer-inclined set-up has led to better results, with four podium finishes in the last eight races after the Japanese GP. Hamilton, on the other hand, has struggled with his Ferrari and is yet to secure a podium finish halfway through the season, setting a career-high record of 14 races without a podium. Despite increased tire wear, Hamilton has started transitioning towards Leclerc’s set-up, aiming for better results. Deputy team boss Jerome D’Ambrosio stated that Hamilton will continue following Leclerc’s set-up for the foreseeable future to maximize the car’s potential under the current regulations.
