Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari was supposed to be the beginning of a new era, a chance to chase his eighth World Championship in the iconic red colors. However, things have not been going as planned for the seven-time World Champion, with a noticeable dip in performance and morale.
Following a lackluster performance at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Hamilton’s subdued demeanor has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. The once upbeat and positive Hamilton that started his journey with Ferrari seems to have disappeared, leaving many to question what has gone wrong.
After a disappointing qualifying session in Bahrain where he trailed behind his teammate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton openly admitted that he was not performing up to his standards. Despite showing some improvement during the race, his struggles continued into the next race weekend in Saudi Arabia, where he once again found himself off the pace.
Former McLaren chief performance engineer, Bernie Collins, pointed out the stark difference in Hamilton’s mindset since the beginning of the season. Collins emphasized the need for Hamilton to rediscover his positive attitude and recapture the magic that defined his early days at Ferrari.
Currently sitting in P7 in the Drivers’ Championship standings, Hamilton is facing fierce competition from Leclerc, whom he has yet to outperform in a race since joining Ferrari. With the pressure mounting and his confidence wavering, Hamilton must dig deep to turn his season around and reignite his title challenge.
As the Formula 1 season unfolds, all eyes will be on Hamilton to see if he can overcome his current struggles and revive his championship hopes. Will he be able to rediscover his winning form and silence the doubters? Only time will tell in this thrilling saga of highs and lows on the racetrack.
