Lewis Hamilton has reacted positively to Fe꧂🌺rrari’s upgrade package for this weekend’s Bahrain Grand Prix.

Ferrari have introduced several upgrades fo🍃r this weekend in Bahrain, notably a new floor.

The new parts will look to turn around Ferrari’s disappointing start to the 2025 F1 season.

Ferrari have failed to finish on the podium in any of the opening three🍎 races, with Hamilton’s sprint race 🦋win in China the only highlight of the year so far.

It’s been widely reported that Ferrari have struggled to run their car as low to the ground as they wanted, hence the change in flo🧔𒅌or for this weekend.

While the timesheets didn’t 𒉰look encouraging for Ferrari amid McLaren’s impressᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚive turn of pace, Hamilton was happy with the upgrades.

“The upgrades definitely working,” Hamiꦐlton said after FP2. “A big thank you to everyone back home working so far hard on bringing the upgrades.

“It🉐’s never an easy thing. There’s a lot of work that goes on in the wind tunnel and a lot of work that goes on fabricating, putting together these floors. It’s just good to see that we’re taking steps forward.

“We’re trying to extract more from it. I hope that☂ we can make the right steps overnight into tomorrow.”

It was a similar story for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc, who took seಌveral laps to move into the top five.

With high tyre degradation expected in Sunday’s race, Hamilton admitted he needs the Ferrariꦜ package to♛ be more “consistent through the lap”.

“Same old Fridays. It was fun. Quite difficult in the morning as always with the temperature being so high,” Hamilton explained. “The grip was terrible on the hard tyre for the first run. It was quite a big shock from hard to soft which w🧜as much b🤡etter. We made some changes. The car felt pretty decent.”

On what Ferrari need to improve ahead of qualifying, Hamilton added: “Just consistency. Just trying to put th𒊎e laps together, having a car that’s easy to driv🔯e.

“That’s consistent through the lap. At the moment, it’s a bit different b♛etween low, medium and high,ꦦ as you often have. So we’re just trying to finesse it. We’re trying to tweak it and make sure we have good long run pace as that’s where you need to be strong here.”
