Hamilton continues its particular process of adaptation to Ferrari and Ferrari. The seven -time champion is seventh of the World Cup (31 points) for the fifth position of Leclerc (47). He barely stood out in China’s sprint with a victory, but now it seems more an isolated event than a large season start on his part. Sir Lewis does not finish being comfortable behind the wheel of the SF-25 and with his comments denotes that things are missing in that garage.
“I cannot explain much. In the races to the sprint there are not many changes that you can make, we did not make many changes between the first training and the classification, When in all other great awards we have touched the car to make it worse ”, Hamilton said in one of those statements that do not always feel good in Italy.
What do you lack? “There are many different things, there is not one in particular. When I arrived at Mercedes, the first six months were hard to work with new people. The engineers with whom I work are accustomed to regulating the car for a different pilot with a different pilot style, And I am used to piloting a different car With another different style, so it is a combination. ”There are not so many similarities between Sainz’s styles, which was there four seasons, and Hamilton himself.
“I don’t know how long it will last, we work hard to shorten the process but it can be longer. We will do our best. We have no improvements or anything this weekend but we try to optimize the car. Charles did a fantastic job in the last race And he demonstrated what this car can do on a Sunday, the goal is to replicate that, ”says Lewis, before the annoying ribbon imposed by Leclerc. In Saudi Arabia the Monegasque achieved the first podium of 2025 of Ferrari, although the Italian team already adds half of the points that McLaren in just five races.
