The disappointment of Ferrari’s number 44 after the Bahrain Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton left the Sakhir track in fifth place, earning the “Driver of the Day” nomination.
At the end of the fourth race of the season in Bahrain, the atmosphere within Scuderia Ferrari is far from positive, despite the updates made to the SF-25 on the Sakhir track. The disappointment of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton is something that makes Ferrari fans reflect. After qualifying in ninth place yesterday afternoon, the British driver’s race—under the lights of the Middle Eastern desert—was a constant uphill struggle, until he crossed the finish line in fifth place, behind his new teammate.
At the end of the race in which he was elected“Driver of the Day,” Hamilton – in his first year with the Prancing Horse team – expressed his disappointment, opening up to the press and emphasizing the surprise of the results obtained in the Middle East and pointing to the Jeddah weekend with the mission of finding the feeling with the single-seater manufactured in Maranello.
The enthusiasm of his first days as part of the historic Italian team, seen during the first tests in Fiorano, seems to have been replaced by the worry of not being able to understand the car, an unexpected turn in the early stages of a story that is not starting as hoped. “I didn’t expect it to go this badly, and for my ability to adapt to this car to be so inconsistent. It’s okay, I will keep pushing. I hope today I showed that I still have something inside me, I need to tap into that potential more,. ” said the number 44 driver at the end of the race to Sky microphones
