Formula One star Lewis Hamilton’s debut season with Ferrari has faced challenges, with his former rival branding the team as “chaotic.” Despite a tough start, the racing icon’s performance has not been as disastrous as it may seem. Hamilton, who joined Ferrari at the beginning of the year, has struggled to secure podium finishes and is currently sixth in the drivers’ championship, trailing his teammate Charles Leclerc by 64 points.
Esteban Gutierrez, a former F1 driver, shared his perspective on Hamilton’s season, highlighting the differences between English and Italian teams based on his experience with Ferrari and Mercedes. Gutierrez emphasized the passion and organized chaos at Ferrari, noting that winning with Ferrari poses a significant challenge compared to other teams. He believes that Hamilton’s struggles this year are part of a learning process and expects him to make progress in the upcoming season.
Gutierrez’s comments coincide with potential regulation changes next year that could benefit Hamilton. Despite past disagreements between Gutierrez and Hamilton, the former Haas driver acknowledged the importance of setting a positive example in the sport. Looking ahead, Gutierrez remains optimistic about Hamilton’s future performance and the evolving dynamics within the team.
