Lewis Hamilton has officially arrived at Scuderia Ferrari. This can be inferred from the fact that he is already explaining his performance with ambiguous hints, just as he did previously against George Russell...
Although Hamilton has won sprint races in the last three competitions, he is still lagging behind Charles Leclerc in the points standings. Therefore, it's the car's fault:
"I honestly hope that we can achieve a positive change by the next race. In the previous races, I was at a slight disadvantage due to one element of the car that was behaving strangely for me and underperforming. It’s good to know this when evaluating the past races; I couldn’t extract more from the package.
I really hope that once this is resolved, I will achieve better results. I’m losing just over a tenth due to the problem, and I hope that when the new element arrives, the two cars will be equal." - hinted Lewis Hamilton, but after their team leader's statement, all this is hard to take seriously...
"The car's balance, behavior, and dynamics reflect the driver's choices and needs. It’s important to emphasize that we are still getting acquainted with the car, trying different directions, but I believe the picture will be different in Bahrain. We tested there for three days, and I think our car will work better." - dispelled Hamilton's hints that could be seen as conspiracy theories, Fred Vasseur.
