Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has been nothing short of a disaster, according to former teammate Carlos Sainz. The Spanish driver didn’t mince his words when commenting on Hamilton’s struggles at the Italian team after taking over his seat earlier this year.
Despite being a seven-time world champion, Hamilton has failed to impress since joining Ferrari, with only a sprint win under his belt this season. Sainz, who now races for Williams, anticipated the difficulties Hamilton would face in adapting to a new team, especially one with a strong competitor like Charles Leclerc.
While Hamilton showed flashes of brilliance during the Chinese Grand Prix, where he dominated the sprint race, subsequent errors and disqualifications have marred his performance. Sainz acknowledged that it takes time for drivers to adjust fully to new teams, hinting that Hamilton might still be finding his footing at Ferrari.
The pressure is on for Hamilton to redeem himself and get back in contention for wins, but so far, he has struggled to replicate his past successes at Mercedes. The Tifosi are eagerly awaiting a resurgence from the British driver in the upcoming races.
With expectations high for Hamilton at Ferrari, the spotlight is now on him to turn his season around and prove his critics wrong. Only time will tell if the seven-time world champion can rise to the challenge and reclaim his winning form on the Formula 1 circuit.
