Hamilton caused a lot of excitement when he won the Shanghai sprint race on the second weekend of the 2025 F1 season, but he has since struggled and is seventh in the championship
Hamilton is past his prime and he’s not going to win another F1 championship. Happy he gets to fulfill his Ferrari dream, and I’m sure will personally and professionally have success in the future, but his days as a WDC contender are over, in my opinion.
Last time we saw Hamilton truly shine was 2021. And even that year he had some fumbles. He’s had flashes of brilliance since then but not to the level he’s shown before.
It’s possible he really just doesn’t like ground effect cars, but unfortunately I don’t think the new regs will be too different in that regard. But maybe enough? Feels like that is the last sliver of hope for Hamilton fans.
