Where is the pre-season hype, the honeymoon, the all-encompassing madness? The current situation is that there is Charles Leclerc, who is extracting great performances week after week from a mediocre Scuderia Ferrari. And there is Lewis Hamilton...
Who suffers. And more and more, and in addition to the only win in the sprint race, he is constantly lagging behind in the points standings - he is even overtaken by the young Kimi Antonelli, who was brought in to replace him at Mercedes. And as a result, not only experts close to Ferrari, but also the media friendly to the reds began to criticize Hamilton. "From promise to doubt" with this title published an article on this topic by Corriere della Sera, highlighting that even in the worst case scenario, the Briton's integration into the team is more difficult than expected. They add that even newcomers like Oliver Bearman have managed to adapt in a shorter time, moreover, the literally suffering Hamilton, who had a hard time finding his place in Williams, had a predecessor in Carlos Sainz, who managed to get back on his feet in the last race. According to them, this is causing an extremely embarrassing situation in Maranello, and not only in a professional sense. Because even the most ardent Hamilton fans are impatient, and the entire Tifosi is nervous about the significant performance lag.
