Lewis Hamilton delivered a frank assessment of Ferrari’s current level of performance following sprint qualifying for the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Hamilton secured seventh on the grid for Saturday’s sprint race in Miami, one place behind Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc.

Ferrari were once again the fourth-fastest team over one lap, trailing Mercedes, with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Kimi Antonelli storming to his first-ever pole position.

The two McLarens, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell, all start ahead of th𒊎e two Ferr🌱aris, continuing the Italian team’s disappointing start to the 2025 F1 season.

It was a more encouraging session for Hamilton, given he wꦏas just two-tenths off Leclerc’s pace.

In Saudi🎀 Arabia, Hamilton was over six-tenths behind Leclerc in qualifying.

Hamilton reflected on sprint qualifying: “It was a better session. P1 was probably a bit better. “The car was a bit nicer to 𒅌drive 🅷in P1. We’re just lacking the speed. Just got to keep working on from there.”

Hamilton was then asked if it would be꧒ possible for Ferrari to make progress in the sprint race.

He replied: “Not really. All the cars🐷 [ahead] are faster. I don’t know what else to say.”

Hamilton admits “there’s work to do”

Hamilton’s🅰 arrival from Merce♕des at the start of the season resulted in optimism that Ferrari’s title drought would finally end in 2025.

Ferrari narrowly missed out on the 2024 ⭕F1 constructors’ cha👍mpionship to McLaren.

The Scuderia ended last year with the second-quickest car aไs Leclerc and Carlos Sainz regularly challenged for r🍰ace victories.

Despite the regulations remaining stable over the winter, Ferrari opted to make significant changes to their car for this year, including a major change to their s𓆉uspension.

So far, it’s not wo💛rked out, with Ferrari scoring just one podium in the opening five rounds.

Hamilton’s sprint race win in China appears t✅o be an anomaly, howeve🦋r.

Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend in Miami, Hamilton conceded there’s “work to do” to find more perforܫmance.

“There’s always ideas,” Hamilton added. “Whether they’re right or not. There’s definitely learnings to take from today and setup changes w💧e’ve made, how the car behaved. There’s definitely work to do to pick up speed going into the rest of the weekend.”
