Former F1 driver Johnny Herbert believes Ferrari’s SF-25 car characteristics have allowed168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Lewis Hamilton to ‘settle in very quic♑kly’ following pre-seꦉason testing in Bahrain.

Hamilton was in action last week across the three days o𓄧f winter testing at the ꧃Bahrain International Circuit.

The seven-time wor🌞ld champion looked comfortable on track, even if Ferrari didn’t grab the headline times during testing.

Hamilton's next appearance in the Ferrar♉i🌌 will be at next weekend’s Australian Grand Prix, the first race of the 2025 F1 season.

Speaking to , Herbert explained why he’s confident Ha♓milton ꦦwill be better suited to this year’s Ferrari.

“He settled in very quickly. When you’re at the level 🉐that Lewis has been for many years, it doesn’t take ✱long to settle in,” Herbert said.

“That’s what he’s 🅠showing at the present time. The car itse🦹lf looks pretty driveable.

“I think it looks more like what Lewis has alw🍃ays been after. He always likes a very sharp front end. And that was something that they struggled with, a bit of under🔥steer with the Mercedes.

“It 🌜looks as if the Ferrari has a little bit more of a sharper front end, which is only going to benefit Lewis in his campaign to get that eighth tജitle. And I think it’s very, very possible for that to happen.”

Ferrari expected to be behind McLaren in Australia

Headingꦐ into the season-opener in ♉Melbourne, McLaren are expected to be the team to beat.

Lando Norris’ race simulation on day two of pre-season testing caught the att🐓ention of the paddock.

Norris was, on average, around 0.6s quicker than 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc and168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Andrea Kimi Antonelli, who wer🧜e completing race simulations at a similar time 🍷on day two.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri backed this up on day three, who was approximately 0.3s quicker than 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell during the race runs.

The usual testing c🧔🍸aveats remain, though, with the unusually cooler Bahrain conditions and uncertainty about which power modes teams were running.
