Lewis Hamilton’s telling update on Ferrari F1 car progress
Lewis Hamilton shares positive update on h꧟is adaptation to Fe🦋rrari's F1 car.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton says he is growing more “comfortable” with his Ferrari F1 car after F🥂riday practice at the Japanese Grand Prix.
The seven-time world champion was fourth in both practice sessions at Suzuka and ended the day quicker than new Ferrari teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc in a heavily disputed FP2.
Hamilton, who has been adapting to Ferrari’s 2025 chal𓄧le🍷nger after making a blockbuster switch from rivals Mercedes over the winter, was happy with Ferrari’s positive start to the weekend in Japan.
"It's been a really nice day. This track is awesome. It never ceases to amaze you when you get on the circuit,” Hamiltꦚon🅺 told Sky Sports F1.
“We have an incredi🤪ble crowd here this weekend, first time𝕴 seeing the support here for Ferrari.
"Generally, the sessions went well. We got through all the sessions. A bit worrying to see the crash at Turn 1, gl♎ad to see he [Doohan] is ok.
"It's quite gusty, so you get a big headwind through The Esses and that is when the track is the fastest, but it fel🌌t great.
"We got through all the programme, we got some performance we need to pick up.🌜 We are not the quickest at the moment but I think it's a good baseline.”
Hamilton buoyed by Ferrari progress
It has been a difficult start to the season for Ferrari, but after taking sprint pol💧e position and winning the shortened race in China last time out, Hamilton feels he ꦉis making further progress with the SF-25.
The 40-year-old Briton said he is finally beginning to understand how to get the best 🌺out of Ferrari’s package.
"I've not been focusing massively on what everyone else has been doing. I've been focusing on learning as muc🍨h as I can and continue to grow with the team,” he explained.
"From weekend to weekend I'm getting more comfortable in the surroundings and in the car, just remembering everyt🦂hing that's within the cockpit and also the settings, I'm understanding more of the set-up changes that we can do.
"For example, between those two sessions, I'm starting to get to a point where I can push the car in a direction and know which tools I have🎐 to put the car in a better place, so I'm getting more comfortable with it.
"I expect that to just continꦫue over all the races."
Leclerc finished third in FP1 and was s🌄eventh-fastest in FP2.
Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri took turns in ෴setting the pace as McLaren topped both 🐼sessions.
