A Tough Start for Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton’s entry into the Ferrari team has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. With only three races under his belt and a best finish of seventh, it’s evident that he’s experiencing a steep learning curve. Fans had high hopes for Hamilton after his dramatic move from Mercedes, yet reality seems to have thrown a curveball at the seven-time world champion.
The Setup Conundrum
In an intriguing twist, Hamilton raised eyebrows by suggesting that his Ferrari is running at a “deficit” compared to teammate Charles Leclerc. It’s clear that differences in setup between the two drivers might be amplifying the challenges Hamilton faces. While Leclerc appears to be settling into the groove, Hamilton’s adjustments are still taking shape, particularly in the wake of his disqualification from the main Chinese GP event due to excessive skid-block wear.
The Road Ahead
After yet another disappointing performance at the Japanese GP, Hamilton hinted at an issue uniquely plaguing his side of the garage. “Our car is running higher than we would like,” he stated, shedding light on the ongoing struggles with the ride height of the SF-25. With the season still young, there’s ample time for tweaks and improvements, but it’s evident that Hamilton’s Ferrari journey is just beginning. Here’s hoping he can quickly bridge the gap and harness that vintage Hamilton magic!
