Lewis Hamilton was adamant he would make a change – but a fellow F1 champion has questioned if it is the right choice.
The 2009 F1 champion Jenson Button expressed that Lewis Hamilton should not abandon his simulator work despite recent concerns raised by Hamilton.
Hamilton had suggested stepping back from simulator duties following the Miami Grand Prix, where he felt it had led him in the wrong direction with his car’s set-up.
Despite a tough event in Miami, the seven-time champion is optimistic about the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend, a track where he has seen success.
Hamilton’s performances this season have shown improvement compared to his challenging start at Ferrari in 2025.
Button highlighted the challenges Hamilton faced moving to Ferrari but acknowledged his growing confidence and better team dynamic this season.
The importance of simulator work was emphasized by Button, who noted that while it can sometimes mislead drivers, it remains a crucial aspect of preparation for races.
