Lewis Hamilton Unleashes Ferrari Upgrade Verdict Amidst ‘Teething Troubles’ Turbulence

Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion, has weighed in on Ferraris newest upgrade package after the Austrian Grand Prix, noting that while the squad is still sorting some teething troubles, he can already see real progress in their pace.

As the team seeks to close the gap to McLaren and eventually outpace Red Bull and Mercedes, they brought an revised floor and an reshaped diffuser to Spielberg. The upgrades appear to have worked, giving the Scuderia its best combined finish of the season so far with third and fourth places. Hamilton, racing in separate—and wetter—conditions at Silverstone, ended the day in fourth himself.

Assessing Ferrari’s package before the British Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton admitted he sees genuine progress in Maranellos upgrades, though some early issues remain. I do, I think we did take a step, and I am really hopeful that continues, Hamilton told reporters from RacingNews365 and others. We still need to extract more from this car, and there are a few teething problems to clear. Some are short-term and some are long-term, so we are making the best of what we have.

Hamilton also shared how his working relationship with new race engineer Riccardo Adami is maturing after a mixed call in the Red Bull Ring race. Communication, trust, and pace are improving every weekend, he said, and were both pushing to make every radio message count.

With upgrades arriving thick and fast up and down the grid, Hamiltons assessment hints at a tighter midfield battle only weeks away. Fans can expect plenty of high-speed drama as teams scramble to turn gains into points.

STATISTICS

Lewis Hamilton

Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton (born 7 January 1985) is a British racing driver, who is contracted to compete in Formula One for Ferrari. A seven-time Formula One World Champion, he is often considered the best driver of his generation and widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers in the history of the sport. He won his first World Championship title with McLaren in 2008, then moved to Mercedes where he won back-to-back titles in 2014 and 2015 before winning his fourth title in 2017. Statistically the most successful British driver in the history of the sport, Hamilton has won more World Championship titles (4) and more race victories than any other British driver in Formula One (62). He also holds records for the all-time most career points (2,610), the most wins at different circuits (24), the all-time most pole positions (72) and the most grand slams in a season (3). Born and raised in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Hamilton’s interest in racing started when his father bought him a radio-controlled car when he was six. He was signed to McLaren’s young driver support programme in 1998, after he approached McLaren team principal Ron Dennis at an awards ceremony three years earlier and said “one day I want to be racing your cars”. After winning the British Formula Renault, Formula 3 Euro Series, and GP2 championships on his way up the racing career ladder, he made his Formula One debut twelve years after his initial encounter with Dennis, driving for McLaren in 2007. Coming from a mixed background, with a black father and white mother, Hamilton is the first and only black driver to race in Formula One. In his first season in Formula One, Hamilton set numerous records as he finished runner-up in the 2007 season to Kimi Räikkönen by just one point. He set records for the most consecutive podium finishes from debut (9), the joint most wins in a debut season (4) and the most points in a debut season (109). The following season, he won his first World Championship in dramatic fashion; on the last corner of the last lap in the last race of the season, becoming the then-youngest Formula One World Champion in history. After four more years with McLaren without finishing higher than fourth in the drivers’ standings, Hamilton signed with Mercedes AMG Petronas for the 2013 season, reuniting with his childhood karting teammate, Nico Rosberg. In his first season, he finished 4th once again, the third time in five years. Two successful seasons followed as Hamilton won his second and third titles. Hamilton won 11 races in 2014, in a closely fought championship battle with Nico Rosberg, decided in the final race of the season, where Hamilton secured his second World Championship title by winning the race. The next season saw Hamilton seal his third World Championship title with 3 races remaining, in a season where he finished on the podium a record 17 times and matched his hero Ayrton Senna’s three World Championships. After finishing runner-up to Nico Rosberg in 2016, Hamilton won his fourth title in 2017, joining Juan Manuel Fangio, Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost and Sebastian Vettel as drivers with four or more World Championship titles. He currently wears jersey number 44. Current Season: 8 podium finishes, 3 race wins, 2 pole positions. Championship standings: 2nd place with 285 points. Best lap times: Sector records at 4 circuits. Career wins: 25 victories from 180 starts. Fastest lap awards: 12 career fastest laps. Team performance: Leading constructor’s championship.
