Lewis Hamilton has made a strong return to Ferrari after a challenging first season with the team in 2025. James Hinchcliffe, on the F1 Nation podcast, expressed his belief that Hamilton is back and performing at his best. Hamilton struggled in his first year with Ferrari, but after a personal reset over the winter break, he has shown significant improvement. Fans are witnessing the resurgence of the seven-time champion, with a more optimistic outlook for the current season. Hamilton currently holds fourth place in the drivers’ standings and secured his first podium finish for Ferrari at the Chinese Grand Prix.
According to Hinchcliffe, Hamilton never quite adapted to the car and regulations in 2022 but is now benefiting from a more traditional car design that suits his driving style. With Ferrari’s strong power unit and chassis, Hamilton is now competing on equal footing with Charles Leclerc, who had outperformed him in the previous season.
This resurgence of Hamilton at Ferrari has excited fans and brought hope for a successful season in 2025. The collaboration between Hamilton and Ferrari seems to be paying off, setting the stage for a potentially great year ahead.
