Lewis Hamilton’s difficult maiden F1 season at Ferrari continued at the Dutch Grand Prix last weekend.
Following a disappointing performance at the Dutch Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton has established a new unwanted record as a Ferrari driver after his switch from Mercedes. Despite being a seven-time world champion, Hamilton has struggled to keep up with team-mate Charles Leclerc and is currently in sixth place in the drivers’ championship. His latest setback occurred at Zandvoort when a racing error resulted in a crash into the barriers on lap 23. With no podium finishes yet, Hamilton has now set a record for the most grand prix starts (15) without a top-three position in Ferrari’s history. He is also nearing Didier Pironi’s record of the longest time (19 races) a driver has had to wait before securing their first podium for Ferrari. If Hamilton doesn’t achieve a podium finish in the next four races, he will break that record as well.
