Nico Rosberg delivered a concerning assessment of Ferrari’s on-track performance following F1 practice at the Spanish Grand Prix, describing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton’s car as a “handful”.

It was a tough day for Ferrari at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya in p🍬ractice.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc was the highest-placed Ferrari driver in FP2▨, setting the fifth-fastest t🐈ime of the session.

However, Leclerc was 0.5s off 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri’s top time.

Hamilton was a couไple of tenths slower than his teammate, ending up 11th in the final classification.

Ferrari hoped that the flexi win𓆉g clampdown would resᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚult in an upturn in performance, potentially impacting their rivals.

However, it seems they’re back to where they were pre-Monaco in terms o꧃f the pecking order, trailing the top three teams.

Rosberg, who was trackside for Sky Sp🦋orts F1 in FP2, noted how difficult the Ferrari looked to drive in the h෴ands of both Hamilton and Leclerc.

“All in all, it’s difficult. Difficult from his own performance and difꦍficult even more so from the car’s performance because the car is just nowhere near where they were hoping to be,” Rosberg explained.

“It’s really quite a difficult car. Looking at Imola, the last normal track, they weren’ꦫt even able to get in the top 10. Out there today, it looks so much of a handful to get that car to go around those corners.

“Sna♑pping so much, understeer, there was everything there. So I think it’s been a difficult start to the seas꧙on for Lewis.”

Rosberg assesses Hamilton’s Ferrari form

While Ferrari’s form has been underwhelming in F1 2025, Hamilton has st෴ruggled to outperform Leclerc.

Other than during the sprint part of the China weekend, Leclerc has kept🎶 Hamilton at arm’s length.

Rosberg sees Hamilton’s performances as a “continuation of his form from last🍸 year.”

“It’s also been a continuation of his form from last year,” he added. “Last year was the first year ever in his career that we’ve seen a dip in form across a whole sea🍷son with his teammate beating him, George Russell.

“It’s gone into this year with Charle𝔍s Leclerc taking the position as George Russell had last year. It’s not such a comfortable position to be in for him this year.”
