Sky Sports F1 pundit Karun Chandhok believes 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton should be enco🍬uraged by how he’s been able to drive this year’s Ferrari in pre-season testing at the Bahrain Internatio♔nal Circuit.

Hamilton set✱ the pace in the morning sessio💧n on day two in Bahrain.

The 40-year-old’s 1m29.379s was the fastest time of the test up until that point, putting him 0.4s clear of former teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.

Hamilton appeared more comfortable in the SF-25 than on day one, with♚ fewer oversteer moments.

Chandhok, who was observing f🌄rom the commentary box, noticed how Hamilton was able to manipulate the car on the corner entry.

During his final years with Mercedes, Hamilton was often seen struggling with how the car was handlinꦯg, especially at low-speed corners.

Speaking during F1’s testing coverage, Chandhok said: “Today it certainly looked like, it felt like, Hamilton had a car underneath him which he could turn and manipulate on corner entry [in a way] that Hamilton wants and I think that’s an encouraging sign for him, and for his legion of ꧃fans out there who really want him to succeed at Ferrari.”

Hamilton “more comfortable” in the Ferrari

Ferrari appear to be finding improvements as testing continue✱s.

Hamilton will have four more hours in the car on day three before attention turns to the season-openi♈ng Australian Grand Prix.

Even during hi🦩s poor run of form at Mercedes in 2024, Hamilton proved he was one of the best over a race distance.

Being more comfortable in the Ferrari should allow Hamilton to extract his best more often, especially in qualifying, where you need to be🐭 on the edge.

F1 tech expert Sam Colli🥀ns highlighted how Hamilton has improved on his lap times from last year.

While 🐲the conditions are completely different and the cars have evolved over the past 12 months, Collins feels it “signifies him being more comfortable in the Ferrari”.

Pluไs, it’s likely Hamilton will better that lap time on the final day of testing🐎.

“Lewis Hamilton has improved on his laps [from] last year,” Collins explained during day two of🅺 testing “GeorgeRussell’s lap tiﷺmes are about blow for blow with his best laps in testing last year, he hasn’t really improved.”

“However, Hamilton has made a notable step in the Ferrari - which signifies him being more c💞omfortable in the Ferrari and its handling than he was in last year’s Mercedes. Still more tes𝔍ting to come.”
