Lewis Hamilton’s debut race with Ferrari at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix presented significant challenges, resulting in a 10th-place finish. The race was marked by a heated exchange between Hamilton and his new race engineer, Riccardo Adami, highlighting communication issues within the team. A critical strategy error during a sudden rain shower led to Hamilton staying on dry tires too long, compromising his position. Despite these setbacks, Hamilton remains optimistic, acknowledging the learning curve and emphasizing the potential for improvement as he adapts to his new team environment.
The Australian Grand Prix also showcased McLaren’s strong performance, with Lando Norris securing victory and teammate Oscar Piastri demonstrating significant pace. In contrast, Ferrari’s struggles were evident, with both Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finishing outside the top positions, underscoring the challenges the team faces in optimizing race strategies and communication.
Looking ahead, Hamilton and Adami are scheduled to meet before the upcoming Chinese Grand Prix to address these issues and enhance their collaboration. Both Hamilton and Ferrari’s team principal, Fred Vasseur, have expressed the need for improved communication and strategy execution to achieve better results in future races.”
