Lewis Hamilton’s transition to Ferrari in the F1 2025 season has generated a lot of attention and speculation. Hamilton changed teams after a long and successful tenure with Mercedes, where he claimed seven World Championships. However, he took the place of Carlos Sainz for Ferrari, which marks a significant moment in his career as he aims to secure his eighth championship title.
His move to the team was overshadowed by growing concerns about a lack of trust between the driver and the team. This issue originated from a series of strategic errors in the early part of the season. His debut was far from the ideal debut as he finished 10th in the Australian Grand Prix and faced disqualification in the Chinese Grand Prix due to excessive plank wear.
These setbacks have left Ferrari in fifth place in the Constructors’ Championship, which is their worst start since 2009. The controversy not only affected Hamilton’s performance but also put pressure on Ferrari to address internal conflicts. As a result, Ferrari has unveiled new features to help Hamilton settle in his new car.
Ferrari Unveils New Features To Adjust Lewis Hamilton
Ferrari has introduced new modifications to Hamilton’s steering wheel, which he had requested during his initial testing. These adjustments include new software that provides him with enhanced data access, which will mirror Mercedes. This upgrade is also expected to include a new floor design that aims at enhancing the car’s overall performance. The current plan has been reported to have issues, and the new floor plan intends to address this problem.
Along with the steering wheel and floor changes, the team has also made significant aerodynamic updates, including a shift from pushrod to pull-rod front suspension. These new upgrades are designed to help Hamilton overcome his difficult start in the F1 2025 season and potentially take back his lead at the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix.
