Jacques Villeneuve believes Lewis Hamilton is “doubting himself” amid hi🐭s ongoing Ferrari malaise.

Seven-time world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Hamilton endured what he described as his “worst” race for Ferrari last time out at the Spanish Grand Prix, as he finished sixth only after a penalty for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen.

Despite securing a season-best qualifying result and running as high as fourth in the early stages, Hamilton mysteriously lacked pace and was ordered out of the way of his faster teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Charles Leclerc.

Hamilton ultimately finished seventh on the road after being overtaken by Sauber’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg before he was pro🐬moted to P6 due to Verstappen’s penalty.

The 40-year-old Briton was left in a hugely desponde𒁏nt mood after the race, leaving 1997 world champion Villeneuve concerned.

“It’s not a happy plac♍e for Lewis Hamilton. Spain was hard to watch,” Villeneuve told BetVictor Casino.

“It's hard to understand because ✱he has shown the speed, he's qualified, but it's not consistent. And it seems that he's doubting himself. Even when he speaks, he doesn't seem full🦩 of energy.

“That's hard to see from a champion like Lewis. It's not an easy place to be in. It's a t💟eam where you get so much attention that when you do🎐n't win the weight of it is tenfold.”

Pressure on Ferrari to improve

While Leclerc is currently 🦂faring much better than Hamilton, having claimed his third podi💝um of the season in Barcelona, Villeneuve insisted that Ferrari need to make improvements to their car.

Ferrari already find themselves a huge 197 points adrif𒁃t of McLaren in the constructors’ championship just nine races into the season and have not been in contention for win🌳s aside from Monaco.

Villeneuve criticised Ferrari for continuing to underdeliver. ♏;

“Ferrari has to focus on geﷺtting better, because right now it's not good enough. And then if the two drivers don't work the same way, that makes🧸 it a little bit more difficult,” he added.

“We hear every race that things are going to get better! So, I have stopped listening to all that's supposed to be coming💞 to a track. It rarely pans out.

“It's been years of this, years and years of this situation and the♈y haven't figured it out yet. So, I don't think the answer is in what is already there.”
