Ferrari will face a demanding home audience this weekend.
Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari career has started with a cough. Aop
Lewis Hamilton presented to the employees of the Maranello factory at the end of January.
The seven -time world champion, which has been dressed in a black jacket for a long time, finally seemed to have arrived home.
Television photos were grabbed by a broad smiling British with a few words, which is well suited to his noble title.
Four months later, Naphti is no longer valuable in Sir Lewis’s behavior.
– Enjoy a tea break while you are thinking about it, the jockey ribbed her race engineer in Miami Riccardo Adamwhen not received an immediate answer.
The anger did not guarantee any more pace. Hamilton missed his teammate Charles Leclercin behind.
The British was eight in the final results.
“It’s not easy”
The ride is not now in any way to the eighth world championship. Hamilton makes it tight even before Leclerc.
The Italian press is already suspected of breaking the British Star and Ferrari leadership.
Team manager Fred Vasseur However, he wants to calm the crisis speech.
– We had a good conversation with Lewis. I fully understand his frustration, Vasseur said Racingnews365 by.
– Masters want to win the races. And we ask him to let the teammate pass. It’s not easy, he referred to the events of Miami.

The team manager talked about the potential of SF-25 car for a long time. In the Florida sun, however, Ferrari even left the Williams in time.
– We got the maximum out of the car. This proves that there is no potential, Leclerc disassembles his disappointment.
Magic doesn’t disappear
This weekend, Ferrari is facing his passionate home audience. The Tifos are taking over the Imolan “Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari” leaflets – and they expect to see red at the top of the race.
– Nobody disappears in one weekend. We all saw how he dominated the Shanghai sprint race. I believe that magic is still preserved, Hamilton’s long-time boss and Mercedes team manager Toto wolff quoth For Sky Sports.
The Austrian does not consider the 12 -point rear distance to Leclerc in any way worrying.
– It doesn’t surprise me at all. Lewis was with us for 12 years and now he works for Ferrari, where the teammate has years of experience, Wolff wondered.
– And this teammate is clearly very good. From the outside, it would appear that this is a new driver’s getting used to the top stable, he explained the situation in Hamilton.
Better in Barcelona?
The calendar is now condensed towards the summer. Over the next three weekends, we drive both Imola, Monaco and Catalonia.
For the time being, Ferrari has only captured one prize ball throughout the season (Leclerc’s Third Farm in Saudi Arabia). The pace now really has to change.

There will be no big update package for the coming weekend. It is known that it is only for the Barcelona race to be promised by a clear improvement in the car.
It won’t come for a moment too early.
– All stables have new front wings in Barcelona just because of the rules. It will reset everyone’s performance, Vasseur promised.
Ferrari has underperformed, but Hamilton’s pace in Shanghai and Leclerc’s responsible in Saudi Arabia showed that at best, Maranello’s black stallion can even beat McLaren.
It just seems to happen much more often.
Hamilton should also finally start to live his expectations in Ferrari’s red. Otherwise, there is suspicion that the transfer to Italy will only support the retirement fund of the 40-year-old F1 Nestor.
– Lewis needed a new start for his career, and Ferrari is undoubtedly an iconic brand. Of course, he also received the terms of the contract that interest him, Wolff decided.
