Sebastian Vettel defends Lewis Hamilton’s adaptation at Ferrari: “He’s working very hard”
Sebastian Vettel weighs in on Lewis Hamilton's time༒ at Fer💝rari

Four-time F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has backed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton to adaptও to life at Ferrari, conceding it will take “a little bit of time”ꩵ.
After months of pre-season hype, Ferrari’s 2ꦅ025 season hasn’t deliveredꦜ on track.
Neither Hamilton nor 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc have finished on the podium in the opening fo𒀰ur races of the 20ও25 season.
Hamilton has trailed Leclerc in three of the openin♐g four weekends, only looking like the quicker of the two Ferraris in China.
Even then, Leclerc finished ah▨ead of Hamilton despite nursing ✤front wing damage before their double disqualification.
After finishing fifth in Bahrain, Hamilton spoke at length about the lengthy adaptation process and how different it is driving for Ferrari after be🍨ing with Mercedes for so long.
Reflecting on his former rival’s opening four races with Ferrari, Vettel defended Hamilton’s slow ada🦹ptation pr🎉ocess.
“I think it’s obviously a big ൩step,” Vettel said. “It’s a big shift in culture and I think right now, obviously, it’s very focused on the racing side and on the car and how the car wants to be driven and ꧟how it feels and so on.
“But I think adaptation is not only driving. I th🍌ink it’s als🍨o a lot of the things that happen around the driving whilst you’re driving as well.
“So, I don’t know, to give you examples, the steeꦜring wheel, for sure, he’s adapted it to the way he likes it, but it’s not the one he had. These thing♎s just take time to really adapt and it takes capacity of your brain, which you had sort of available to you in the past because everything was sort of automatic. So it naturally takes a little bit of time.”
Hamilton “not the most successful driver by chance”
Hamilton’s main wea🔯kness continues to be qu♓alifying.
Last weekend in Bahrain was a carbon copy of his final year in Mercedes, where he was outqualified by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell and then🃏 finished right behi൲nd him in the race following a strong race performance.
Vettel believes Hamilton is “working hard” to get on top of things with his new team and that it’s just♐ a matter of time before results imওprove.
“Of course, I know that he has very high ambitions and very h🍃igh expectations,” Vettel added.
“So at the minute, I know that he’s probably not happ♋y with himself, with how competitive he is. So that works, it sort of works on your mind and he’s obviously not the most successful driver by chance, but for many reasons.
“And he’s working, I believe, very hard to fix all those things and to get back the full capacity that he needs and requires on his driving to race to a level that he’s happy wit😼h.” 🅰;
