Summary
We answer your questions on Lewis Hamilton’s season so far in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to evaluate his first five weekends with Ferrari and what it will take to get him onto the pace.
We also consider what the future might bring for Hamilton and Ferrari if he continues to struggle, and whether the rules reset of 2026 is the chance for him to take a leap forward.
Ferrari’s difficulties and the risk of Charles Leclerc ending up as a great F1 wasted talent, as well as Max Verstappen’s prospects of a Ferrari move are also on the agenda.
Oscar Piastri’s progress, Williams’s prospects, pit-lane queuing and the importance of the upcoming run of races for Lando Norris are among the other questions we take on.
