Despite the struggles, Hamilton remains optimistic about his Ferrari future, stating: “I know that we’ll get there eventually. It’s just taking time.”
With the full-length race in Miami still to come on Sunday, Hamilton will be hoping to build on his Sprint success and finally deliver a strong result in his Ferrari.
Overall, it has been a challenging start to the season for the seven-time world champion, but moments like his Sprint performance in Miami provide glimpses of what could be possible once everything comes together for him at Ferrari.
It was not only the rain that caught me by surprise, Leclerc said. We need to understand what happened, we are struggling a lot with the car. It’s probably the worst it has been all season.
Leclerc’s disappointment was compounded by the fact that he will start Sunday’s Grand Prix from the pit lane after Ferrari were forced to change the engine following his crash in Sprint qualifying.
It’s going to be a tough race for us tomorrow, but we will keep pushing and try to salvage some points, Leclerc added.
With both Ferrari drivers facing an uphill battle in Miami, it remains to be seen if they can turn their fortunes around and challenge for points in the race.
