Australian GP: Lewis Hamilton believes that in Ferrari after the first day of 2025. FER, faster little by little “in Ferrari | F1 News
Lewis Hamilton says he “slowly builds” in his new Ferrari and becomes faster “little by little” in front of the Australian qualifications on GP, after ending up on the day of the opening day on F1 2025, led by teammate Charles Leclerc.
But the seven-time world champion doubts that he may be “early” for him to challenge Maiden Pole position for his new team, because he still “got a pace to find” in the car.
Hamilton’s first racing weekend as a Ferrari driver in the F1 2025 season in Melbourne season has been expected to go to sports for months, and Britain himself said on Thursday that he is currently in the “most exciting period of my life.”
On Friday, hitting the Albert Park trail in Ferrari’s SF-25, for the first time on Friday, Hamilton opened its debut weekend in Red, finished 12th. The fastest at initial training sessions, six tenths away from the new Leclerc teammate, which took third place.
In encouraging an early season for Ferrari, Leclerc then surpassed the McLaren Favorite titles In a more representative second session with Hamilton this time, she finished a little closer to her sister’s car, although four other tenths in fifth place and obviously with a pace that should still be found.
“It’s a (either) super exciting upgrade this week and it was amazing to go out there and be in Ferrari here,” Hamilton said after another practice.
“Honestly, the car felt so different from what I had ever experienced on this track, so it took a little linen through P1.
“P2 was definitely better, but we just build. We are slowly building and we are building a little faster.”
Hamilton is a record eight-time polezir at the Albert Park, but asked if he allowed himself to dream of a debut of a time leaf on Saturday at 5am, he admitted: “For me, I think it’s a little early because I’m still learning a car-I never say I never say.
“I’ll still give him everything I have. Just not to put too much pressure on it, I’ll just try to enjoy it. I have some tempo to find, I know where I have to find him, just because of going out and working. But just building.”
Hamilton has already talked about how different driving experience is compared to the Mercedes, whose working team he has been leading since 2013 and whose engines have launched his entire F1 career before this year.
Asked how the SF-25 was distinguished with other cars he was driving around Alberta Park, Hamilton said, “Only otherwise, just a lot different.
“But the car does not feel bad or anything, it just requires a different way of driving. So, adjusting my driving style a little, but I enjoy driving.”
Leclerc: Ferrari ‘Much Better’ Compared to Testing – and will aim the pole
Although Hamilton was still implanted in his new team and machines just seven weeks after he started operating at Prancing Horse, Leclerc seemed to hit the ground at the beginning of his seventh season in Ferrari.
Monegasque surpassed McLarens, the favorites of the preseason headline, just over a tenth of a second and appeared in accordance with the SF-25 around the cunning appearance of the Albert Park.
“We obviously made good preparations,” Leclerc said. “There are things that we need to improve as always, and I’m not yet very pleased with the balance, but we are in a much better place compared to Bahrein’s testing and there is a lot of performance.
“But it’s the same for everyone in rowing. These cars are pretty new for everyone, so you have to push to understand where the exact limit is. But that was a solid first day and we have to wait and see how it goes [on Saturday] When we push a little more. “
Asked to evaluate the competitive picture between Big Four teams, Leclerc added: “For now, I don’t know, it’s too early to say, I don’t think we have seen the right pace of all yet, and some teams could hide their game a little more than others.
“But surely McLaren is up there. I think Red Bull could fight for a little while, but never know with them and, especially with Max [Verstappen]You can never exclude them. So I’m sure it will be in the fight, and and Mercedes looks strong, so it will be a good fight. “
But while Leclerc emphasized that he remained “careful” about Ferrari’s appearance that went to the first year of qualifications – which would give the first true picture of the 2025 baking order on absolute low fuel – he admitted that “it is correct to say that we look like this after one day [Qualifying] And we want to try to target position in half. “
