Ferrari accused of “brand decision” to sign Lewis Hamilton as new flaws noticed
"I don’t♐ know why" cr𒁃iticism of Ferrari call to sign Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton was signed as a “brand d🐽ecision” by Ferrari and Carlos Sainz𒁏 would be doing a better job in their car, it has been boldly claimed.
Hamilton enters this weekend’s F1 Bahrain Grand Prix, the fourth round of the 2025 season, needing to tackle the problems with his Ferrari that he has faced so far.
While 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton won the sprint race in China🌼, it was a brief highlight in an otherwise worrying start to his Ferrari adventure, with the famous 💮red cars routinely off the pace of McLaren and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
“Whether you are disappointed or not with Lewis’🌊 performances at Ferrari, it depends on your expectation🌳s,” .
“For my part, I said that if there was a championship-winning car at Ferrari, it would 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc w🐼ho would win the championship, but 🧸Hamilton would win races.
“But we don’t have a championship-winning car at Ferrari. Leclerc is still getting more out of the car, but🍎 Lewis is capable of winning a grand prix if things go right.
“I am not disappointe๊d by that. That’s exactly where I thought it would be.
“The only thing that has surprised me is 🅷that Lewis hasn’t yet softened his driving to the point of being who he is, as he was at McLaren and Mercedes. He is still braking too mu൲ch in a straight line, he is still taking relatively wide entries.
“If I was Fred♉ Vasseur I’d say ‘why arไe you doing that? Be yourself, relax, be the guy you were in Formula 3 with early turning, incredible feel for the rotation point of the car, where has it gone?’
“I am not sureꦜ Fred would sa𝓀y that. I don’t know why he hired him.
“I am guessing♏ he hired him because it was a good brand decision, I guess.
“If Carlos Sainz was in that car, he’d be doing at least as good a🍸 job as Lewis, if not better. He’d probably have done a better job at Suzuka.”
Lewis Hamilton ‘thinks about everything more’

Age has been cited 𝄹by Windsor as a factor for the seven-time Formula 1 champion’s decline.
“Lewis is 40 years old,” he said. “Because of tha💮t, he thinks about everything more. He is impervious to what the press says, he’s been around lon♒g enough not to listen to what anyone says. That’s not an issue at Ferrari.
“But he thinks about ܫthings more, as you doꦆ when you get older.
“If you’re 21, you just do it on gut instinct. That’s the difference now with Lewis. He’s at an ag🦩e where he’s gone to Ferrari and he’s thinking about things more.”
The key🦄 problem at Ferrari is their inability to run their cars low enough. Hamilton hinted that his car was more impacted than Leclerc’s, and he is awaiting a fix.
Italian media reported that Ferra🍸ri will bring so♍mething to Bahrain to address Hamilton’s problem.
But Windso🤪r said: “I cannot imagine in a million years that if Charles is running a lower ride-height, and Lewis says to his engineers ‘I want the same 🧸as Charles’, his engineers are saying ‘no’.
“I can'💟t imagine that would be happening so I don’t unders𒊎tand.
“The instability in the rear? Yes, 𒉰it’s not great, but does he think Charles doesn’t have instability? It’s an unstable car when you take downforce out.
“Is the rear e🌟nd of the Red Bull glued to the road? Talk to Yuki Tsunoda or Liam Lawson.
“Lewis has driven a difficult car for so long now that he’s possibly shocked the Fer♉rari is not better than the Mercedes. Indeed, it is worse than the Mercedes if he can’t catch Antonelli.”
