Lewis Hamilton Struggles at Ferrari Continue Amid Criticism

Lewis Hamilton's highly anticipated move to Ferrari has so far not yielded the expected results, with the seven-time world champion struggling to adapt to his new team and car. Despite a sprint race win in China, Hamilton has yet to finish higher than fifth in a main race and has consistently trailed teammate Charles Leclerc in both qualifying and race results. He attributes his difficulties to the challenge of acclimating to new engineers, a different car setup, and a new driving style, noting that such adaptation could take months or even longer. Hamilton, who joined Ferrari in hopes of securing a record eighth championship, has faced criticism from pundits and former drivers, but says he is ignoring outside opinions and focusing on working with his team. Ferrari, meanwhile, is fourth in the team standings, while McLaren and its drivers are currently leading the championship. With most of the record 24-race season still ahead, both Hamilton and Ferrari remain hopeful for improvement.
