A big change for Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari – but what counts as a good season for the seven-time champion?
“Anthony Davidson believes a successful first season for Lewis Hamilton at Ferrari would be to match his performance from his final season with Mercedes, which was a bit challenging despite two wins and some podium finishes. Hamilton demonstrated flashes of speed in victories at the British and Belgian Grands Prix, but struggled towards the end of the season, notably in Brazil. Davidson emphasized Hamilton’s need to adapt to Ferrari’s systems and engineers during pre-season testing to achieve several wins and podiums in his debut year at the Scuderia. While Ferrari may have had a slight advantage over Mercedes last year, both teams were evenly matched in terms of competitiveness. Hamilton is expected to aim for consistency in his performance, potentially out-qualifying Leclerc in some races and matching his race pace through his experience and strong tyre management skills.”
