Eighth world title seems out of grasp for Hamilton

Perhaps the once revered Italian car manufacturer has lost its magic touch...and F1 prowess along with it.

We're nine races deep into the 2025 season, the year when Sir Lewis Hamilton was touted to take home his eighth World Title according to Ferrari, but still, fans only saw a glimmer of greatness in China.

It was common knowledge that Hamilton would take some time to adjust to life in red, which also includes acclimatising himself to a new car and more especially a new team.

Coming out of his relationship in Mercedes, where Toto Wolff took him as a son, Hamilton found himself surrounded by new engineers and a new voice whispering in his ear during races.
