Is Ferrari’s F1 car suiting Lewis Hamilton better than Mercedes?
Lewis Hamilton encouraged by early experiences with Ferrari'ꦉs 2025 F1 car.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton says he is “really enjoying” driving Ferrari’s 2025 F1 car but stressed it is “a bit ea🐟rly” to say whether it suits him better than his last Mercedes.
The seven-time world champion is getting up to speed with his new Ferrari team after completing a blockbuster winter transfer from rivals Mercedes ahead of t▨he 2025 season.
Hamilton set the pace on the morning of the second day of pre-season testing in Bahrain but ended up being pipped to the fastest overall time by Williams’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz.
The 40-year-old Briton s🐓aid his first month as a Ferrari driver “couldn’t have 🃏gone any better” as he gears up for his first campaign with F1’s most iconic team.
"How you start is often very important," Hamilton said. "This past month couldn't൲ have🅘 gone any different and couldn't have gone any better. Things along the way had to happen, Barcelona had to happen.
"E𒀰very day has been significant and ab꧟out building foundation. Whilst I mentioned we had to cram a lot in a small space of time, we haven't rushed it.
"Long days, but that's what we're here for. I think it will pay dividends going forwards. This will continuously be evolving and it'🎐s felt seamless, felt easy in a sense of gelling with the team. I've not had to force it and I feel at home.”
Hamilton arrives at Ferrari off the back of some difficult final years with Mercedes in which he st🅘ruggled to get to grips with the Silver Arrows' past few ground-effect 🦂cars and only won two grands prix.
Asked if he feels Ferrari’s SF-25 suits him better thꦰan his recent Mercedes challengers, Hamilton replied: “I think it's a bit early to say but I am really enjoying the car. We are slowly bond𝕴ing I think.
"Yesterday was a so-so day, it was just OK. But we got through all our run plans, we are testing a bunch of things. I'm not doing set-up changes or directing where we want the car to go, whereas today was ex🧔ploring a bit my interaction with my♕ engineer.
"So far, I really enjoy driving this car.”

Lewis Hamilton still ‘exploring’ Ferrari’s F1 car
As part of Hamilton’s acclimatisation to Ferrari, he has had to get🥂 used to new working practices, a brand new steering wheel, p⭕edals, and Ferrari’s power unit - having spent his entire 18-year F1 career driving Mercedes engines.
Hamilton, who has made several 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:c🍌rit🐬ical changes to his steering wheel, said♏ there is "still🦩 room to explore” with his new Ferrari car.
"These days are about exploring. At the moment, there's still room to explore more aﷺnd bit by bit I'm ekingꦆ out a bit more,” he added.
"All the settings are so different, even brake bias is different. I'm not nece🍰ssarily unle👍arning what I had before but am learning this new way of working and the way this car has to be driven is different and that's a fun journey.
"I feel like the car is underneath me and responding to my inputs. There'🍎s still more work to do but tim🧸ings are not massively relevant, you just have to focus on your programme.
"We will have a bit of a base feeling tomorrow but I think it will be very close. Everyone has🦩 done a great job over the winter, even the Willia🦩ms looks good."
