Lewis Hamilton says suggestions he has lost faith in Ferrari are “complete rubbish” after early setbacks | F1 News happymamay

Luis Hamilton rejected the suggestions that he might have lost in Ferrari after the dual team in China was excluded as “full garbage”.

After joining the Italian team at a wonderful key from Mercedes, Hamilton ranked tenth in the first appearance in Australia, then won a victory before marriage in the Chinese Grand Prix, but then he was excluded from the full race after a day after taking the flag in sixth place.

The seven-time world champion has ended in Australia if it was not related to an expensive strategy to stay in dry tires in wet conditions, while excluding him in China was the result of excessive wear on the SF-25 board.

Speaking to the media on Thursday for the first time since his exclusion in China, Hamilton said: “I don’t really feel any frustration after that. This is what it is. Of course, we passed everything.

“I was in the factory on Wednesday and there was a lot of learning. We take the highlands and lows together as a team.

“It is clear, not what everyone has done hard to happen on the weekend. There is no team, or there is no engineer or mechanical that makes every effort in something like that.

“I would like to say that the most impressive thing is how the team took it, how they worked, how they captured the data, and how we advance from here is the most important.

“I have seen someone who said something if I was losing his faith in the team, which is full garbage. I have 100 percent absolute faith in this team.”

“I did not expect to win the first race.”

The Driver and the most famous sports team in huge amounts of noise in weeks preceded the 2025 season, but Hamilton insisted that he had never expected immediate success.

He said: “It is clear that there is a great deal of noise at the beginning of the year and I do not know whether everyone expects us to win the first race and win a championship in our first year, but this was not my expectations.

“I know I will enter into a new culture, and a new team and it will take time.”

Talk to Sky SPORTS F1 Later on Thursday, Hamilton repeated his belief in Ferrari Ferdrik Vasuor team manager.

“I really spent in the past two months an attempt to monitor the way this team works – it is completely different from what I have gone through,” he said.

“Each team was different – McLaren was different, and Mercedes was different with McLaren, and here again.

“So, just monitor and see where I can contribute and what I can bring to the table. There are areas that we need to upload, for sure, but I think Farid has a great approach.”

Hamilton also revealed the conditions for his departure from Mercedes – after 12 seasons with silver arrows – prevented him from appearing in the post -season test in December in Abu Dhabi, giving drivers the opportunity to test the new 2025 tires for the first time.

This, in addition to a case on the last day of the pre -season test for the February team in Bahrain, prevented him from obtaining long -term experience on new vehicles.

He said: “Once again, I did not expect to go directly to the season and win the first race – the enemy race was already a real reward, to be honest.

“This was the first time that I already did in the long run on any of the tires, and then, in the race, this was the first time I led the C2 frame.”
