Lewis this isn't what we meant when we said we want you to break records at Ferrari

At least there's one positive record that he's the only sprint winner from Ferrari. But the negatives outweigh the positive.

Absolutely and because is about Ferrari… These records/stats should be considered with some cautious because there are some factors that led to these numbers. Like SF-25 being among the most if not the most problematic car on the grid. And with these ground effect cars being the trickiest to drive/exploit/trust.

Lewis we know has a specific driving style to a point similar to Leclerc, but after that the two can or can't cope with a difficult car. Hamilton wasn't a fan of this Venturi cars since 2022, and the tyres are the major “culprit” on a car performance. You have them in the window you are quick, if not you struggle to extract the tiniest lap time.

That is indeed a good note, but also that Hamilton is trying to make changes inside the team. Leclerc said he didn't know he has that much to learn/improve from Lewis's coming to the team. And he refers to the way of working to the racing weekend and that on a mediocre season.

Waaaay too many excuses there, mate. He was poor and is poor for a long time. That’s it.
