Nico Rosberg’s alarming Ferrari verdict after Spain F1 practice: “So much of a handful”
Nico Rosberg's worrying observation of Ferrari trackside at the Sp☂anish Grand Prix

Nico Rosberg delivered a concerning assessment of Ferrari’s on-track performance following F1 practice at the Spanish Grand Prix, describing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s car as a “handful”.
It was a tough day for Ferrari at the Circuit de B﷽arcelona-Catalunya in practice.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc was the highest-pl🎃aced Ferrari driver in FP2, setting the fifth-fastest time of the session.
However, Leclerc was 0.5s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s top time.
Hamilton was a couple of tenths slower th🔴an his 💃teammate, ending up 11th in the final classification.
Ferrari hoped that the flexi wing clampdown would result in an upturn in performance, potentially impacti🦹ng their rivals.
However, it seems they’re back to where they were pre-Monaco in terms of the pecking o♈rder, trailing the top 🌃three teams.
Rosberg, who wa🅘s trackside for Sky Sports F1 in FP2, noted how difficult the Ferrari looked to drive in the hands of both Hamilton and Leclerc.
“All in all, it’s d♍ifficult. Difficult from his own performance and difficult even more so from the car’s performance because the car is just nowhere near where they were hoping to be,” Rosberg explained.
“It’s really quite a difficult car. Looking at Imola, the last normal track, they weren’t even able๊ to get in the top 10. Out there today, it looks so much of a handful to get that car to go around those corners.
“Snapping so muc💛h, understeer, there was everything there. So I think it’s been a difficult♓ start to the season for Lewis.”
Rosberg assesses Hamilton’s Ferrari form
Wh♊ile Ferrari’s form has been underwhelming in F1 2025, Hamilton has struggled to out📖perform Leclerc.
Other 𒊎than during the sprint part of the China weekend, Leclerc has kept Hamilton at arm’s lengജth.
Rosberg sees Hamilton’s performances as a “continua🌠tion of his form from last year.”
“It’s also been a continuation of his form from last year,” he added. “Last year wꦰas the first year ever in his ca𓆏reer that we’ve seen a dip in form across a whole season with his teammate beating him, George Russell.
“It’s gone into this year with Charles Leclerc 𒐪taking the position as George Russell had last year. It’s not such a comfortable position to be in for him this year.”&🐎nbsp;
