Charles Leclerc has highlighted the influence 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton has had on Ferrari despite his on-track F1 struggles.

It’s been a disappointiꦬng campaign for Ferr🐽ari so far in 2025.

Ferrari sit fourth in the F1 constructors’ champions✅hip, 110 poi👍nts behind McLaren.

They’ve scored just one podium🍒 finish in the opening five races and have failed to live up to pre-season expectations.

Hamilton, who made the switch from Mercedes for F1 2025, hꦑas struggled to get close to Leclerc on-track.

The most convincing weekend from Hamilton was in🤡 Shanghai, where he dom𝐆inated the sprint race from pole position.

However, since then, Hamilton has strugg🎐led, finishing over 30 seconds behind Leclerc at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

Leclerc backed Hamilton to turn things around and spoke about the invaluable contribution the seven-time world champion ha🌠s already made.

“I think it’s always very tric⛦ky when you join a new team to get on with the new systems, with the new way of working, with the new car.

“Honestly, on my side, I am fully focused on myself and trying to extract the maximum out of myself, out of the car and that’s already quite a lot of work. I am sure Lewis will get there. He’s got such a great win in China. There’s still a lot to learn𝔉 but I already learned a lot from Lewis.

“It’s great to have him in the team and to ch🉐allenge the way we have done things f𝓰or many, many years.

“And also, again, give a fresh v🏅iew of how we approach different things. So on that, we've learned a lot from him.”

Can Ferrari save their season in Miami?

Ferrari a🍎re hoping that they will be able to replicate the pace they showed in the sprint race in China as the alternative format makeඣs a return for this weekend.

The theory behind Ferrari’s resurgence 🦩in the sprint in Shanghai was that the lower fuel level allowed them to run their c𒐪ar lower to the ground and thus it produced more downforce.

However, Leclerc disagreed with this theory.

“I think the very good performance of China, especially in the sprint race, has little to do with the fuel load,” Leclerc explained. “I think it's more about the sprint race is always an opportunity because you've only got one session to be straight away on the🔴 right foot in the right window of the car and if you get it wrong, there are opportunities.

“As much as there are, how do you say, chances to take the wrong choices, and then this has a big consequence. I think Lewis approached the China quali and sprint race in the perfect ♏window, and just managed to put everything together ,when others maybe struggled a little bit more and then already from the Saturday evening, we struggled in the normal qualifying.

“I just feel like by focusing on ourselves, we've done a lot of work in the simulator, in order to be in the right window straight away. That's a target for every team, but if we mana✨ge to do that better than others, then there's definitely the opportunity for us to reproduce what happened in China, more than in a normal race weekeꦦnd, where I would say it's a bit more difficult to challenge the McLaren at the moment.”
