Lewis Hamilton delivered a frank assessment of Ferrari’s current level of performance following sprint qualifying for the F1 Miami Grand Prix.

Hamilton secured seventh on the grid for Saturday’s sprint race in Miami, one place behind Ferrari teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc.

Ferrari were once again the fourth-fastest team over one lap, trailing Mercedes, with168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Kimi Antonelli storming to his first-ever pole position.

The two McLarens, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell, all start ahead of the two Ferraris, continuing the Italian team’s disappointing start to ღthe 2025 F1 season.

It was a more encouraging session for Hamilton, given he was just two-tenths o💯ff Leclerc’s pace.

In Saudi Arabia, Hamilton wa꧃s over six-tenths behind Leclerc in qualifying.

Hamilton reflected on sprint qualifying: “It was a better session. P1 was probably a bit better. “The car𓃲 was a bit nicer to drive in P1. We’re just lacking the speed. Just got to keep working on from there.”

Hamilton w🎃as then asked if it would be possible for Ferrari to make progress in the sprint race.

He r🐲eplied: 😼“Not really. All the cars [ahead] are faster. I don’t know what else to say.”

Hamilton admits “there’s work to do”

Hamilton’s arrival from Mercedes at the start of the season resulted in optimism that Ferrari’ﷺs title drought would finally end in 2025.

Ferrari 🎉narrowly missed out on the 2024 F1 constructors’ championship to McLaren.

The Scuderia ended last year with the second-quickest car as Leclerc and Carlos Sainz r꧑💧egularly challenged for race victories.

Despite the regulations remaining stable over the winter, Ferrari op𝓀ted to make significant changes to their car for this year, including a major change to their 🌃suspension.

So far, it’s nꦇot worked out, with Ferrari scoring just one podium ൲in the opening five rounds.

Hamilton’s sprint ra🐽ce win in China appear🐎s to be an anomaly, however.

Looking ahead to the rest of the weekend in Miami, Hamilton conceded there’s “work to do” to find more per⛦formance.

“There’s always ideas,” Hamilton added. “Whether they’re right or not. There’s definitely learnings to t𝓡ake from to꧑day and setup changes we’ve made, how the car behaved. There’s definitely work to do to pick up speed going into the rest of the weekend.”
