168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton has already “exceeded expectations” during his debut F1 season with Ferrari, it has been claimed.

That is according to three𒈔-time W Series champion Jamie Chadwick, who has been left impressed with Hamilton’s performance despite a m🎐ixed start to life at Ferrari since his blockbuster switch from Mercedes.

Hamilton finished a disappointing 10th on his debut at꧃ the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and was disqualified in China because of excessive plank wear after finishing a low-key sixth on the road.

The seven-time world champion could only ma𓆉nage seventh last time out in Japan, but he did produce a masterclass drive to claim both pole position and victory in the sprint event in China.

It has been a lacklustre start to 2025 for Ferrari, who have failed to live up to their pre-season tag as being McLaren’s nearest challengers as they battle ride height𝓡 problems with their new car.

Hamilton is five points and two places behind teammate168澳洲5最新开奖结果: Charles Leclerc in the championship. 

“I think it's exceeded expectations in some ways,💦” Chadwick told Sky Sports News.

"What we saw in𓆉 China was definitely a big step in just two races to be performing lꦇike that. There's so much new to him in this car.

"He's talked about there potentially being a bit of an existing issue that's been there in the last few races that'൲s kind of hindered perf♔ormance a little bit.

"[Bahrain] is a track he knows v𒁃ery well in that Ferrari fro🐼m testing, so hopefully that gives them a bit of a better window to perform.

"But arguaꦆbly, with the pace of the McLaren, it's going to be hard for them t♛o really make a dent.”

Ferrari are currently fourth in the 168澳ಌ洲5最新开奖结果:constructors’ world championship standin𓂃gs, 76 points behind McLaren.

McLaren tipped to return to form

Red Bull’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen took his first victory of the season with a super𒊎b drive in Japan to hold off a race-long challenge from the McLarens.

But McLaren have been tipped by Chﷺadwick to be the team to beat at this weekend’ꩵs Bahrain Grand Prix.

"At pr💙e-season testing, the conditions were quite different to what I think it's going to be this weekend in much hotter conditions,” she said.

"Mercedes, for example, tend to run better in cooler condition💙s while McLaren are good in the hot conditions, so it will change a little bit who's where, I think.

"The thing about𒈔 Bahrain is everyone's done loads of laps so it's super close. Everyone's quite dialleℱd in, both the teams and drivers.

"I think the drivers can make a difference. If you make a mistake 🌊in the final moments of the last qualifying, then that will be the difference.

"Both of McLaren's drivers are obviously very clos𝓰e but it's about them putting it together. It's going to be the same this weekend - who can execute the best.”
