Lewis Hamilton has been participating in Formula 1 since 2007. The renowned driver recently signed a contract for the 2025 season and beyond, in a surprising move that is being hailed as the biggest transfer in the history of the sport. However, as Hamilton is aging, doubts and speculations have arisen about his ability to perform at his best when he joins Ferrari next year. Ferrari’s CEO, however, dismissed these speculations, stating that racing is in Hamilton’s DNA and that he is more than capable of excelling with the team.
Both Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari have faced challenges in recent years in the Formula 1 grid. This has led to questions about whether the Maranello-based team can handle the pressure of winning the world championship in the near future. Similarly, Hamilton lost the 2021 title in the last race and is regrouping and preparing to make a new attempt to win the championship in the future.
Recognizing Hamilton’s determination, Benedetto Vigna compared his mindset to that of a famous philosopher. Vigna stated that Hamilton’s focus on continuous progress is essential for any team to succeed. Furthermore, having a driver like Hamilton, who is a seven-time champion, would motivate the team to work harder and seek victory. With so much praise for Hamilton, it is expected that he will be warmly welcomed in Maranello and begin his quest for the elusive eighth title.
La temporada comenzó con grandes esperanzas para la Scuderia, ya que apuntaban a desafiar a sus rivales en varios circuitos. Sin embargo, sus expectativas se vieron frustradas durante el fin de semana del Gran Premio de China. Los caballos rampantes no pudieron terminar en el podio, rompiendo su racha de éxito en el Circuito Internacional de Shanghái. Además, los pilotos expresaron su insatisfacción con el equilibrio del coche y tienen esperanzas de que se realicen mejoras en las próximas carreras.
Después de la carrera, Charles Leclerc expresó su decepción y destacó dos áreas que Ferrari necesita abordar. Estaba descontento con el rendimiento del equipo en China y mencionó específicamente la falta de ritmo en las clasificaciones del SF-24 y las dificultades del coche con compuestos duros. Leclerc instó a los ingenieros a encontrar soluciones a estos problemas.
El piloto de 26 años también enfatizó la importancia de las actualizaciones para el futuro de Ferrari. El equipo debe introducir un paquete de actualización significativo en Imola, y Leclerc cree que esto mejorará mucho su rendimiento.
