Ferrari Ferdrik Vasuor team manager and Luis Hamilton admitted “stupidly”, they reduced the challenge that the world champion will face seven times in joining the Italian team.

Hamilton made a great adapter to join Ferrari at the beginning of the 2025 season after spending 12 years in Mercedes, who joined him in 2013 after leading McLaren during the first six years of his career in Formula 1.

The 40 -year -old campaign was very disappointing, as the British left sixth place in the drivers’ ranking and without a large experimental platform, as the sport reached its summer vacation in August with 14 rounds of the 24th season.

Hamilton hit the lowest new emotional level in the last round before the Hungary break, where he declared himself “useless” and said that Ferrari needed to change the driver, after qualifying in the twelfth place when his teammate Charles Licerirk – who has five grand prize race platforms this season.

Thinking of Hamilton’s struggles before resuming the season with the Dutch Grand Prix from August 29-31, Race: “I and me, I, collectively, may have reduced the environment change, and the fact that, for me, 20 years old in the same team.

“McLaren Mercedes, then moved to Mercedes, an English team (based in Brakley), the same engine comrades, the same culture, etc.

“Therefore, he spent 2006 to 2024, 18 years old, in this environment, then arrived in Ferrari. We expected stupidly that everything would be under control.”

Vasacur also explained why he believed that Britain may find it more challenging than the driver who replaced him in Ferrari, Carlos Science, Williams, to replace the difference.

“It is not the man who changed the team every two years,” Vasuor said.

“You have youth on the network, if you look at Carlos, for example, the action of Toro Rousseau, Renault, McLaren, the United States and Williams in eight years.

“It has changed four times. He used to deal with this. Lewis was not the case.

“Culturally, there is a greater difference between Ferrari and Mercedes more than Mercedes and McLaren. This reduced us.”
