Hamilton's ambitious plan: bring Ferrari back into the Formula 1 title fight!
The 2025 Formula 1 season is generating plenty of talk, especially with Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari. The seven-time world champion, who is still struggling in his first season with the Scuderia team, is currently in sixth place in the overall standings. Despite initial expectations, Ferrari has established itself as third in the constructors' championship, but with a clear gap to the dominant McLaren. In fact, Hamilton is aware that the chances of winning the title this year are no longer realistic and emphasizes that the focus is on optimizing the team structure for 2026, as le10sport notes.
Hamilton, who is already in intensive discussions with team boss Fred Vasseur and technical director Loïc Serra as part of his new challenge, is working on identifying and correcting the weaknesses of the Ferrari F1 car. So far he has failed to achieve a podium finish in the first ten races of his Ferrari career, which does not make his adaptation to the current model, the SF-25, any easier. Despite these hurdles, he is optimistic and accepts the challenge, as crash.net reports.
Challenges and upgrades
In the first races of this season, Ferrari clearly fell short of expectations. Hamilton explains that the team is not competitive in its current form and speaks of necessary internal changes. Even though Ferrari is already aiming for major upgrades in the coming races, the world champion has his doubts that these will immediately have a significant impact. In particular, the race in Austria will use a redesigned floor to address vehicle height issues. This technical overhaul could improve Ferrari's performance, but the road to the title remains rocky, as crash.net points out.
The first test drives in Fiorano still show a lot of potential. Hamilton, who wore the number 44 Ferrari on the test day in Fiorano, was welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd. Together with Charles Leclerc, he wanted to familiarize himself with the car and the team dynamics. The series of laps was a mix of emotional moments and challenges for Hamilton, as the track's grip suffered due to the low number of visitors and some technical problems occurred, as italpassion.fr describes.
It remains exciting to see how Hamilton and Ferrari will present themselves in the coming races. The focus on a long-term success strategy and teamwork are our top priority. With a good hand for the challenges ahead, the title curse could finally be broken.
