Carlos Sainz offers very frank Lewis Hamilton verdict as Ferrari woes continue

Lewis Hamilton joined Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season but has struggled to match teammate Charles Leclerc's pace so far.
Hamilton's difficult start stems from adapting to a new team and car while competing against experienced teammates who know the team deeply.
Carlos Sainz, Hamilton's Ferrari predecessor and now at Williams, said he is not surprised by the challenges faced and expects adaptation to take time.
Hamilton's only standout result this season was a sprint race victory in Shanghai; in other races, his best finish has been fifth place, and he came seventh in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
These struggles suggest both drivers need extended time to reach peak performance levels within their new teams amid current limitations.
