Four-time F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has backed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton to adapt to life at Ferrari, conceding it will take “a little bit of ti🎶me”.

After mo🅰nths of pre-season hype, Ferrari’s 2025 season hasn’t delivered on track.

Neither Hamilton nor 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc have finished on the podium in the opening four races of𝔉 the 20𓂃25 season.

Hamilton has trailed Leclerc in 💜thr🦄ee of the opening four weekends, only looking like the quicker of the two Ferraris in China.

Even then, Leclerc finished ahead of Hamilton despite nursing front wing damage before their double disqualꦍification.

After finishing fi🀅fth in Bahrain, Hamilton spoke at length about the lengthy adaptation process and how different it is driving for Ferrari after being withꦏ Mercedes for so long.

Reflecting on his former rival’s opening four 🐟races with Ferrari, Vettel defended Hamilton’s slow ad🙈aptation process.

“I think it’s obviously a big step,” Vettel said. “It’s a big shift in culturꦜe and I think right now, obviously, it’s very focused on the racing side and on the car and how the car wants to b🧸e driven and how it feels and so on.

“But I think adaptation is not only driving. I think it’s also a lot of the things that happen around the driving whilst 🙈you’re driving as well.

“So, I don’t know, to give you examples, the steering wheel, for sure, he’s adapted it to the way he likes it, but it’s not the one he had. These things just take time to really adapt and it takes capacity of your ꩵbrain, which you had sort of available to you in the past because everything was sort of automatic. So it naturally takes a littlꦅe bit of time.”

Hamilton “not the most successful driver by chance”

Hamilton’s main we🍷akness continues to be qua✱lifying.

Last weekend in Bahrain was a carbon copy of his final year in Mercedes, where he was outqualified by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell and then finished right b♏ehind him in the race follo🦩wing a strong race performance.

Vettel believesꦿ Hamilton is “working hard” to get on top of things with his new team and that it’s just a matter of time before results🌃 improve.

“Of course, I know that he has very highꩲ ambitions and veꦡry high expectations,” Vettel added.

“So at the minute, I know that he’s probably not happy with himself, with how competitive he༺ is. So that works, it sort of works on your mind and he’s obviousl𝔉y not the most successful driver by chance, but for many reasons.

“And he’s working, I believe, very hard 🎐to fix all those things and to get back the full capacity that he needs and requires on his driving to race to a level that he’s happy ❀with.”
