Lewis Hamilton’s F1 nightmare continues as he struggles with Ferrari’s pressure cooker!
Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 champion, faced another tough day at the office during the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The British racing icon, now with Ferrari, has been under intense scrutiny as he navigates his first season with the Italian team. Despite his stellar track record, Hamilton’s performance at Ferrari has been lackluster compared to his dominant years at Mercedes.
The pressure was on as Hamilton started the race in Jeddah from P7, trailing not only his teammate Charles Leclerc but also a Williams car. While Leclerc shined with a podium finish, Hamilton faltered, struggling to come to terms with the Ferrari SF-25 after over a decade with Mercedes. The excuses seem to be running thin for the seasoned driver as fans and critics alike question his ability to adapt to the new machinery.
In a post-race interview that lasted a mere 30 seconds, Hamilton’s frustration was palpable. When asked if he ever felt comfortable during the race, he bluntly replied, “No.” Even with the car’s potential for a P3 finish, Hamilton failed to deliver, leaving him at a loss for words when pressed for an explanation. The abrupt end to the interview only added fuel to the speculation surrounding Hamilton’s struggles at Ferrari.
As young drivers like Ollie Bearman and Kimi Antonelli make waves with their adaptability and performance, Hamilton finds himself stuck in the midfield battle, a far cry from his usual frontrunner position. With each race adding to the mounting pressure, Hamilton’s future at Ferrari hangs in the balance as he grapples with a challenging season.
The Formula 1 world watches intently as Hamilton navigates this new chapter in his illustrious career, wondering if he can rise above the adversity or if his Ferrari stint will be marked by unfulfilled potential. Verstappen’s future may be clear, but Hamilton’s trajectory remains uncertain as he fights to find his footing in the competitive world of Formula 1.
