Current performance and future prospects for Hamilton with Ferrari in 2025
Hamilton’s season with Ferrari has been challenging, with his best finishes tied at fourth place, including the recent Silverstone race where he narrowly missed the podium. This marks Hamilton’s toughest start to a Formula 1 season, having not yet secured a podium in his first 12 races with the Scuderia team.
Looking ahead, the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa will be a significant event for Hamilton as it approaches the anniversary of his last F1 victory, which came in 2024 after inheriting the win due to a disqualification of then Mercedes teammate George Russell.
Ferrari is preparing to introduce a major rear-suspension upgrade at Spa to address ongoing ride-height problems affecting the SF-25 car’s performance. This technical enhancement was previewed during a recent filming day at Mugello and is seen as key to improving the team’s competitiveness in the upcoming races.
