The beleaguered interviews that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton continues to provide are a snapshot into a key failing൩, it has been suggested.

Hamilton was at a low ebb in the past two years with his below-par Mercedes, but his drab post-session interviews have reappeared in his first few F1 rounds as a Ferrari driver.

Last weekend after qualifying in Bahrain, h🧸e bemoaned his pace by saying “i𒐪t happens every Saturday”.

Martin Brundle insists that age is not the problem fo꧙r the 40-year-old Hamilton - but has pinpointed where he is going wrong.

“The sad interviews we got quite used to last year are replaying💜 at Ferrari,” Brundle told Sky Sports in Bahrain.

Discussing age, he said: “I noticed my eyes going at Le ♏Mans, for example, at night.

“Sebastian Vettel lost a biꦡt of peripheral vision if I think of the end🤪 of his career.

“I wouldn’t say that one size fits all.

“I don’t think age🐎 is Lewis’ problem. I don’t think he has lost vision or drꦜiving ability.

“He has j🔥ust lost his way in getting a car h𒁃ow he likes it.

“And๊ he🦹’s got a host of young drivers around him who have over 100 races of experience, and are still in their mid-20s.”

New theory to explain Lewis Hamilton struggle at Ferrari

Ferrari brought four floor upgrades to Bahrain in an attempt to in♛spire lif♋e into their flat start to 2025.

Charles Leclerc was fourth, and Hamilton fifth, which represented a step in the right direction but Ferrariꦗ are still significantly short of pre-season hope.

They have st🏅ruggled with the ride-height of their car which culminated in the first double-disqualification of their famous history in Formula 1 at the Chines🌳e Grand Prix.

Hamilton needing to learn new tricks to unlock performance at Ferrari, after so long at Merc🧜edes, is difficult in comparison to his rivals who do not face th🐷e same problem.

“Somebody explained to me that it’sꩵ harder to move teams and re-learn, than to be a rookie and just learn,” Brundle said.

“I am kind of buying into that, a little bit.

“It’s a bit surpꦰrising. I thought Lewis would pick it up. Clearly the car is not working fꦬor him.

“He needs to💜 find out, and work with the engineer, and find where all the green buttons are to find the speed that Leclerc alre💎ady knows.

“But at the moment? I’d say it’s troubled times.”

Naomi😼 Schiff added: “I 🅷am not even sure the question is about finding the sweet spot. I think they know where the sweet spot is, but unfortunately they’re not able to run the car there without a cause for concern on their ride-height, which leads to the infringement we saw in China.

“It’s not ideal for them,𓄧 they are running the car in a compromised set-up.

“I buy into the theory that yꦿoung drivers like Isack Hadjar or Kimi Antonelli are coming in, and are building their foundations, they come into a car and are lo🥂sing.

“Hamilton, and Carlos Sainz, are not having the same experience. They are having to semi-unlearn some 🐈of their habits and it’s taking time.

“It’s almost like a compounded issue for Lewis.”

The F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is this weekend offering Hamilton and Ferrari another opportunity to creep clos𝐆e🐲r to the front.
