Lewis Hamilton has effectively arrived at Scuderia Ferrari. We can know this because he is already explaining his performance with ambiguous hints. Just as he did previously in the confrontation with George Russell...
Although Hamilton has won one sprint in the last three races, he still lags behind Charles Leclerc in the points standings. For this reason, the car is to blame:
"I sincerely hope that by the next race I will be able to achieve a positive change. In the previous races I was a little at a disadvantage because of an element of the car, which behaved strangely and underperformed. It is good to know this when evaluating the previous races, we could not extract more from the package.
"I really hope that when this is fixed I will get better results. I lose a little more than a tenth because of the problem, I hope that when the new element arrives the two cars will already be equal." - hinted Lewis Hamilton, but their team's statement made all this difficult to take seriously...
"The balance, the behavior, the swing of the car reflects the choice and the needs of the driver. It is important to emphasize that we are still getting to know the car, trying different directions, but I think in Bahrain it will already be a different picture. We tested there for three days, I think our car will work better." - dispelled Hamilton's conspiracy-like allusions, Fred Vasseur.
