Where is the pre-season hype, the honeymoons, the madness that covers it all? The current situation is that there is Charles Leclerc, who is pulling great performances out of the mediocre Scuderia Ferrari every week. And there is Lewis Hamilton...
Who suffers. And more and more, and in addition to the only win in the sprint, he is constantly losing in the points standings - even the young Kimi Antonelli, who came to his place at Mercedes, is overtaking him. And as a result, not only experts close to Ferrari, but also the media friendly to the reds have begun to criticize Hamilton. "From promises to doubts" is the title of an article published on this matter by Corriere della Sera, emphasizing that even in the worst possible scenario, the Briton's adaptation is much more difficult. They add that even such newcomers as Oliver Bearman were able to catch the rhythm in a shorter time, moreover, Carlos Sainz, Hamilton's predecessor, who literally struggled and had a hard time finding himself at Williams, was able to pick up the gauntlet in the last race. According to them, this creates an extremely embarrassing situation in Maranello, and not only in a professional sense. Because even the most die-hard Hamilton fans are already impatient, and the entire Tifosi is nervous at the sight of a significant performance delay.
