Hamilton leaves no stone unturned in showing full Ferrari commitment
Lewis Hamilton paid a visit to the Maranello factory after completing his first season with Ferrari.
The seven-time world champion has just completed his first season in red, a campaign far below the expectations of what promised to be a glorious partnership, and which, at least for now, has proved disappointing.
The Brit, across 24 races, failed to secure a single win, and more importantly, no podiums or pole positions, with the exception of the sprint weekend in China, which remains perhaps the only real flash of class in his season.
Hamilton, however, has never questioned his place on the grid for next year, while fully aware that it could be his last if the struggles continue into the next regulatory era.
Others, like former FIA steward Johnny Herbert, believe that Hamilton delivered his ‘farewell speech’ at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, casting doubt on his ability to return to the Lewis Hamilton of old at his age.
Hamilton tipped to have 'only one thing to address' ahead of key 2026 season
The seven-time world champion, despite a challenging season, showed steady improvement from the summer break onward, only to suffer three consecutive Q1 eliminations that took a heavy toll on his morale.
According to Sky Sports reporter Ted Kravitz, this is the main area Hamilton should focus on intensely ahead of next season in his battle with his team-mate Charles Leclerc.
