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 getting older, 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 on 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 has been 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 saison a commencé avec de grands espoirs pour la Scuderia, car ils visaient à défier leurs rivaux sur différents circuits. Cependant, leurs attentes ont été déçues lors du week-end du Grand Prix de Chine. Les chevaux cabrés n’ont pas pu terminer sur le podium, brisant leur série de succès sur le Circuit International de Shanghai. De plus, les pilotes ont exprimé leur insatisfaction quant à l’équilibre de la voiture et espèrent que des améliorations seront apportées lors des prochaines courses.
Après la course, Charles Leclerc a exprimé sa déception et a souligné deux domaines que Ferrari doit aborder. Il était insatisfait des performances de l’équipe en Chine et a spécifiquement mentionné le manque de rythme en qualifications du SF-24 et les difficultés de la voiture avec les pneus durs. Leclerc a exhorté les ingénieurs à trouver des solutions à ces problèmes.
Le pilote de 26 ans a également souligné l’importance des mises à jour pour l’avenir de Ferrari. L’équipe devrait introduire un important paquet de mises à jour à Imola, et Leclerc croit que cela améliorera grandement ses performances.
