Lewis Hamilton can move away from Formula 1. If he continues to struggle in Ferrari at the beginning of the next regulation cycle in 2026, Juan Pablo Montoya believes.
Hamilton’s high-profile F1 The steps for Ferrari have been reduced by expectations so far, Britain is unable to challenge his team partner regularly Charles Lakeler,
Whereas Lakeler has so far logged in three Grand PRECHAMAM, Haemilton The Sunday race has not yet ended more than the fourth, although he won a sensational victory in the first Chinese GP sprint in March.
In terms of scored points, Lakeler has dropped Hamilton out of 104–79 after the first 10 rounds of the season.
Former Williams and McLaren Star Montoya believe that Hamilton is working hard to roam around his campaign with Ferrari engineers, SF -25 is a completely different animal for Mercedes‘F1 cars fired for 12 consecutive years.
But if Hamilton does not make any significant progress in 2026, when F1 takes extensive changes in chassis and engine rules, Montya believes that Britain may be willing to call it one day.
“I think Hamilton is still hungry, because he is ever to prove everyone wrong,” he told that Casino Hawks“But if 2026 is spoiled, he can start going, ‘I cannot be disturbed.”
“But he is pushing them right now. Are they happy to push him, I am not sure! I think he needs to grill them and to be uncomfortable for them, engineer, whether they like it or not.
“Engineers need to understand that Lewis is not trying to be ** K for them, but trying to improve the car. I think it is really difficult. And you need to learn as an engineer and not to take dirt personally as a driver.
“At the end of the day, both of them are after the same thing. Lewis is not questioning whether the engineer is really smart or not, but he is questioning whether they are taking sufficient decisions and correct decisions.
“They need to leave their ego at home and go to work. Ferrari needs someone to better manage that relationship.”
Lewis Hamilton with Ferrari F1 car “not comfortable”
Montoya believes that Canadian GP had a great performance of Hamilton’s talent, with a 40 -year -old ranked sixth and the race had just one place behind Lakelar despite killing the groundhoch and damaging his car.
Colombian racer believes Ferrari The car needs to be more required to bother, even as Lakeler – which has been with the team since 2019 – is always not comfortable with SF -25.
“For the first time since China, Lewis looked very competitive,” Montoya commented. “He looked good.
“There were some rumors that they had a new floor or something. It was good. But they are believed to have damaged it on lap 10 or something when they hit an animal and damaged the car. And despite this, he ended only 20 seconds. [before the safety car] Behind the Lakeler.
“If the damage spends her, then two or three tenth part of a second one lap, it means that it was there.
“It is interesting that Fred Vasasur said after the race that there was only one thing that did not change Ferrari.
“I think they meant that the more they focus on the car on Lewis, the better they are going to run as a team. It is not saying that they should not pay attention to Charles, but Charles has been leading that team for the last seven years.
“This is a car that is difficult to drive. Lewis is not comfortable. The only boy running it is Charles. When Charles is good, he is very good. But when he misses it, it misses a big.
“So, if Ferrari says that we need to be more attractive, it is going to help Charles as well as Lewis.”
