Seven-time world champion upbeat for 2026
‘I’m more connected to this car for sure,’ he says
Lewis Hamilton believes he is in the “best place” he has been at Ferrari with a new car that carries his “DNA”.
Hamilton’s debut season with Ferrari was disappointing, with the seven-time champion failing to take a podium for the first time and finishing sixth in the drivers’ championship, behind his teammate Charles Leclerc in fifth. By the end, he was clearly disenchanted, describing his season as a “nightmare”.
Ferrari have looked promising in pre-season testing and at the third and final test in Bahrain Hamilton, who has regrouped over the winter, presented a buoyant figure, optimistic about the forthcoming challenge.
