Hamilton: "I expect a winning car from the team next year!"

2025-06-24 Hamilton: "I expect a winning car from the team next year!"

We have often written that Lewis Hamilton's arrival at Scuderia Ferrari was as wonderful and fairy-tale-like as his introduction was a huge slap in the face.

Essentially, aside from the one sprint race victory, Charles Leclerc has subjected the seven-time world champion to one of the ugliest defeats of his career so far. Nevertheless, the fervor has not changed at all, so Hamilton has issued an edict to the Italians: he wants a winning car next year!

“Throughout my long career, I have experienced almost everything. There have been times when we started the season with a lot of developments right away, which gave us an advantage, but the momentum ran out by the end of the year. Other times, everything has started to pick up more slowly, and this is the case for the year 2025 as well. Moreover, the current technical generation is in its last year, which makes our entire operation even more difficult. With this in mind, I believe it is crucial that we switch to the 2026 season as early as possible so that most of the attention is directed there. This year we would still like to be in the fight for second place in the constructors' championship, but for the next racing season, I want a car from the team that I can fight for the world championship with!” - the driver gave clear instructions to his colleagues.
