Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has been nothing short of a nightmare, with his former teammate Nico Rosberg describing the situation as “very dark” for the seven-time champion. Hamilton, who currently sits sixth in the drivers’ championship, has been struggling to find his footing since joining the Italian team earlier this year.
During the Spanish Grand Prix, Hamilton’s woes were further accentuated as he finished a disappointing sixth, while his teammate Charles Leclerc secured a podium finish. Rosberg expressed his concern for Hamilton, stating, “It’s hard to watch because today was a horrible day for him…the race was just shockingly bad.”
Despite showing glimpses of brilliance at the Imola GP last month, where he finished fourth after starting 11th, Hamilton has failed to secure a podium in a main race this season. Ferrari had high hopes for Hamilton’s arrival, aiming to secure their first championship win since 2008, but his struggles on the track have raised serious doubts about the team’s prospects.
Leclerc’s stellar performances have only highlighted Hamilton’s shortcomings, with the Monegasque driver already securing three podium finishes this season. The contrast between Hamilton’s lackluster results and Leclerc’s success has painted a grim picture for the seven-time champion at Ferrari.
As Hamilton continues to grapple with his underperformance, questions loom large over his future with the team and whether he can turn the tide in his favor. With the F1 season in full swing, all eyes are on Hamilton and Ferrari as they navigate through this tumultuous period in their racing journey.
