Lewis Hamilton’s Struggles Continue as Ferrari Adaptation Hits Roadblock
Former seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton is facing a tough challenge at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix as he grapples with adapting to his new Ferrari SF-25. Hamilton, who is currently ranked seventh in the championship standings, has been vocal about his difficulties in getting to grips with his new team.
During the practice sessions for the Saudi Arabian GP, Hamilton expressed his frustration as he admitted to a concerning trend of going “backwards” on Saturdays. His performance in FP2, where he finished in 13th place, has left him with little room for optimism heading into the qualifying rounds.
Despite his struggles, Hamilton remains hopeful that overnight adjustments to the car may yield better results on the track. He highlighted issues with getting the tires to work effectively and acknowledged the need for improvements to enhance the car’s performance.
Teammate Charles Leclerc is also in a similar boat, with both drivers experimenting with different setups during practice. Hamilton hinted at a possible convergence of setups within the team to optimize their performance for the remainder of the weekend.
As the anticipation builds for the qualifying rounds, Hamilton’s outlook remains uncertain. When questioned about his prospects for qualifying, a frustrated Hamilton admitted, “I don’t know, mate. For me, I’m just trying to see if I can get in the top 10.”
With the Saudi Arabian GP posing yet another challenge for Hamilton and Ferrari, the coming days will be crucial in determining whether they can overcome their current setbacks and make a mark on the track. Fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see if Hamilton can turn the tide and deliver a standout performance in the upcoming races.
