Lewis Hamilton’s Struggle Unveiled: Former Driver’s Shocking Verdict on Uncomfortable Performance
In a stunning turn of events, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc faced disqualification in China due to technical infringements following Hamilton’s Sprint victory in Shanghai. The drama unfolded as former driver Juan Pablo Montoya delivered a scathing assessment of Hamilton’s discomfort behind the wheel of his Ferrari during the Chinese Grand Prix. Montoya expressed his belief that Hamilton lacked trust in his car, leading to a lackluster performance in Australia.
Despite the rocky start, Montoya remains optimistic about Hamilton’s potential once he acclimates to his new machinery, foreseeing success for both driver and team. Hamilton clinched his first P1 finish in Ferrari colors at the Shanghai International Circuit during the Sprint, but challenges arose during the main Grand Prix where he and Leclerc finished fifth and sixth before disqualification.
Hamilton confessed to setup changes that adversely affected his car’s performance during Grand Prix qualifying, resulting in a subpar race under parc fermé conditions. Upon reviewing footage of Hamilton’s driving, Montoya noted signs of understeer and a “snappy” car, indicating a lack of harmony between Hamilton and his Ferrari.
Montoya bluntly remarked, “Lewis Hamilton is so uncomfortable in that car,” shedding light on the struggles the seven-time World Champion is currently facing. However, Montoya remains hopeful that with time and adjustments, Hamilton and Ferrari will find their stride, hinting at a brighter future for the partnership.
As fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix, all eyes are on Hamilton’s journey to master his new vehicle and propel Ferrari to success. The road may be bumpy now, but if Montoya’s predictions hold true, Hamilton and Ferrari’s collaboration could soon reach new heights, leaving their competitors in the dust.
