Hamilton Admits He Underestimated Ferrari Challenge
- Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, acknowledged on Thursday at Imola that adjusting to life at Ferrari has proven more challenging than he initially expected ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
- Hamilton underestimated Ferrari’s challenge despite anticipating difficulty because of his prior team changes, but he acknowledged not knowing how tough the experience would be.
- Hamilton currently ranks seventh in the drivers' championship, lagging behind teammate Charles Leclerc, and has struggled to match Leclerc’s pace through six races with a best finish of fifth.
- Hamilton reflected that, based on his extensive experience, when you are trailing by over 100 points midway through the season and competing with a dominant team like McLaren, it’s reasonable to accept that a championship victory may no longer be within reach.
- Ferrari’s frustrating early season, compounded by major car changes and dominant rivals, suggests significant work remains if Hamilton and the team hope to improve their competitive position.
