Lewis Hamilton y Ferrari They were very happy when at the beginning of 2024 they announced their union from the 2025 season. However, the high expectations there were with the most laureate pilot in history and the most mythical team of the F1 They are colliding with a very cruel reality. What was a dream is becoming nightmare.
And for the first time in his career, the seven times world champion Not even once on the podium on the first 14 races of the year. It is the second worst debut in history in the Scuderia. The joy of victory in China's Sprint race was an oasis in the middle of the journey through the desert. 'I am useless,' Hamilton said in the last Hungary GP.
For many, this poor performance of the 40 -year -old is a big surprise. However, there are others who have already expected that this union ends up being a fiasco. Precisely one of them was Ralf Schumacher, former F1 pilot and brother of the mythical Michael Schumacher.
“I said before the season that this could go wrong. Right now, I see a lot of drama on your part (from Hamilton). He has been criticizing the team, complaining internally, suffering with the car … this does not help anyone, “said the German for Bild.
“The car adapts to Leclerc but not him. Maybe it's too old to adapt. Or it simply can't stand it. I think the decision to bet on Leclerc took a long time ago. But I don't think I'm going to leave during the season“The former Toyota and BMW concluded, among others.
What is clear is that Hamilton needs to end the season with a better flavor than this first half of the campaign. 10 major awards are left to finish the year and Hepacampeón is sixth in the World Cup with 42 Leclerc points already 175 of the leader of the contest, Oscar Piastri. Without a doubt, to light years of what can be expected from a talent of the British caliber.
