Lewis Hamilton’s maiden Ferrari campaign has not gone as planned, landing him on an unwanted list according to former F1 driver Anthony Davidson.
Former F1 driver Anthony Davidson believes Lewis Hamilton has been given a stark reminder that success is not guaranteed, following his challenging start to the 2025 season with Ferrari. Despite Hamilton’s move to the Maranello-based team, he has struggled to secure a grand prix podium in the first 14 races. Adapting to Ferrari’s operations and handling the tricky SF-25 car has proven to be a major hurdle for the seven-time world champion. Particularly in Hungary, where Hamilton struggled with the car’s rear and expressed self-doubt after a disappointing qualifying session. Apart from a sprint victory in China, the season has been largely disappointing for Hamilton and Ferrari, leaving both parties searching for solutions. Davidson underscores the importance of not taking success for granted and draws parallels to Valentino Rossi’s challenging move to Ducati, emphasizing the vulnerability of even the most accomplished athletes in the face of new challenges.
