Lewis Hamilton: Ferrari Struggles and Safety Advocacy

Lewis Hamilton’s transition to Ferrari continues to be challenging. At the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he finished 7th, expressing discomfort with the car throughout the race. Despite teammate Charles Leclerc securing a podium finish, Hamilton admitted he lacked pace and had no answers for his underwhelming performance.

In response to the extreme heat conditions during the race, Hamilton advocated for enhanced pre-race preparation methods over the FIA’s proposed in-cockpit cooling vests. He emphasized strategies like pre-cooling, hydration, and heat acclimation to better prepare drivers, a stance supported by environmental physiologist Dr. Chris Tyler.

Meanwhile, McLaren’s Oscar Piastri won the Saudi Arabian GP, marking his third win of the season and leading the drivers’ standings with 99 points.
