BREAKING:Lewis Hamilton’s verdict on First Ferrari…read more
Lewis Hamilton has shared his thoughts on his first qualifying session with Ferrari, acknowledging both the excitement of his debut and the unexpected gap to the frontrunners. The seven-time world champion, who made a high-profile switch from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season, faced a tougher-than-expected challenge in his first Saturday outing with the Italian team.
Despite hopes of fighting at the sharp end of the grid, Hamilton found himself struggling with the car’s balance and overall pace. After the session, he admitted surprise at the gap to pole position, stating, “We knew there would be work to do, but the deficit is definitely something we’ll need to analyze.”
While Ferrari has shown promising performance in pre-season testing, Hamilton’s qualifying result suggests the team still has areas to improve. His teammate, Charles Leclerc, managed a stronger showing, adding further intrigue to Hamilton’s adjustment period with his new team.
Hamilton remained optimistic, highlighting that Ferrari’s race pace could be stronger than its one-lap performance. “It’s all about learning right now. We have a long season ahead, and I have full faith in the team to keep pushing forward,” he said.
As the race approaches, all eyes will be on Hamilton to see if he can recover positions and make the most of his first Grand Prix in Ferrari red. While his qualifying performance may not have met expectations, his experience and racecraft could still allow him to deliver a strong result.
With Ferrari eager to challenge for the championship, Hamilton’s adaptation to his new surroundings will be key in determining whether the Scuderia can truly fight for the title in 2025.
