Lewis Hamilton has openly criticized the Ferrari SF-25, likening its performance to “someone who can’t dance,” as his struggles with the car continue into the 2025 Formula 1 season. The British driver expressed his frustration by saying,

“I have never felt in tune with the car.”

Mixed Results Mark Hamilton’s Difficult Start to the Season

Approaching the tenth race of the season, Hamilton has yet to reach the podium while driving the SF-25, with his highest finish being fourth place at Imola. Currently ranked sixth in the championship standings, he trails behind fellow competitors Charles Leclerc and championship leader Oscar Piastri. This position highlights the ongoing challenges Hamilton faces adapting to the car.

Post-Qualifying Remarks Highlight Persistent Disconnect with Car

After qualifying fifth for the Canadian Grand Prix, Hamilton was candid about his ongoing struggles with the vehicle’s handling and performance, stating,

“I don’t feel in sync with the car, and it has been this way all year. I don’t know if I will ever get in sync with it this season. This car is like someone who can’t dance, someone who has no rhythm. It’s like trying to give rhythm to someone who doesn’t have it. It’s very, very difficult. That’s how you feel with this car.”

Implications for Hamilton’s Championship Hopes Moving Forward

Hamilton’s frank comments reveal the intensity of his battle to get comfortable behind the wheel of the Ferrari SF-25. As the season unfolds, much attention will be on whether he can resolve these performance issues and climb back up the standings. The ongoing difficulties underscore the challenge of competing at the highest level when driver and machine fail to align effectively.
