“I don’t know why they had a ‘dull’ weekend,” Lewis Hamilton on Ferrari’s performance at the Spanish GP
Lewis Hamilton claimed his first podium finish of the season, as he finished P3 at the Spanish GP. The British driver finished ahead of his teammate George Russell this time around, as Mercedes have started making some real progress over the past couple of weeks.
Ferrari have fallen off the pace in the last two races, as both Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finished outside the points in Canada. To add to their misery, the duo finished fifth and sixth in Barcelona on Sunday, as Ferrari looked the fourth fastest car on the grid.
Lewis Hamilton remains surprised with Ferrari’s performance in Spain, as they brought in a couple of new upgrades last week as well. The seven-time F1 champion will be interested in knowing how their rivals develop their car through the course of the season, as he will make his much awaited move to Ferrari in 2025.
“I don’t know what happened to the Ferraris in the last two races, but they are progressing anyway and in Barcelona they also brought a package of updates, I don’t know why they had a ‘dull’ weekend,” said Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton says he does not regret moving to Ferrari next season
Lewis Hamilton has made it clear that he does not regret his decision to leave Mercedes at the end of the season. The Silver Arrows have been making steady progress over the past couple of weeks, as Toto Wolff claims that they are quite close to matching McLaren and Red Bull in the upcoming races.
“I have never had second thoughts about my choice to leave Mercedes for Ferrari and I certainly don’t have them now,” said Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton claimed his first podium finish after the Mexican GP last season. Moreover, he has now claimed a podium finish in each of his last 18 seasons in F1. The next race on the calendar is the Austrian GP which will take place over this weekend as a part of the triple-header. Mercedes are expected to continue fighting for the podium places, as they have now secured consecutive P3 finishes.
