Lewis Hamilton is remaining optimistic about Ferrari’s chances in F1 2025 despite a difficult Miami Grand Prix.

Ferrari had the f𒈔ifth-fastest car in Miami, trailing McLaren, Red Bull, Mercede🎶s and Williams.

Hamilton ultimately finished eighth, one place behind Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, as a team orders saga engulfed the team.

Hamilton and Leclerc swapped positions twice as they tried to close in on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kimi Antonelli ahead.

However, it didn’t pay off, as neither 🧸driver could make the most of the clean air.

Even though it was Ferrari’s worst race of༺ the season in pure performance, Hamilಞton remained positive.

“Yeah, I had a good day in general,” Hamilton told media in Miami, wher꧙e  were present in the paddock.

“Eighth does⛦n’t really look like that. I feel optimistic for the future. I think this car really does have performance. Something’s holding us back at the moment, we’ve lost performance since China.

“And it’s there, it’s justᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ we can’t use it. Until we get a fix for that, then this is where we are. In the meantime,🏅 we can work on all of the other stuff, processes.

“But as I said, I came from the sim last week, I genuinely feel I had a 𒊎better weekend. To get the third yesterday was a positive. With a better qualifying, I only missed out by half꧙ a tenth. Still, for us, we’re battling with the Williams here, so we’re clearly not as quick as we want to be. Williams did a great job this weekend.”

“A better weekend” for Hamilton

While the overall result 🎃was disappointing 🃏Hamilton, it was a step forward for the seven-time world champion relative to Jeddah.

In Saudi A🃏rabia, Hamilton qualified over six-tenths off Leclerc, then 30 seconds behind him in the r꧒ace.

“I think this weekend, whilst we’re not as quick as ꦍwe want to be, I feel like I had a better weekend in general,” Hamilton added.

“The result might not show it necessarily today. But I was 12th, so very hard to ovꦜertake herꦦe, cars were obviously so close. I got onto the medium tyre, and I felt the car really come alive, and I felt super optimistic in that moment.

“All I could see is the Mercedes up ahead, and I was thinking maybe we can get up to sixth or 🥃something. But we lost a lot of time𒁏 in those laps where Charles and I were battling, and I was clearly quicker in that moment.

“And I didn’t think the decision came quick enough. And for sure, in that time you’re l♊ike, come on! But yeah. That💝’s really kind of it. I have no problems with the team or with Charles. I think we could do better. But the car is where we really need to be. Ultimately we’re fighting for seventh and eighth.”
