Lewis Hamilton has outlined a positive detail amid Ferrari’s shortcomings this year.<\/p>\n
The seven-time champion has not enjoyed a positive first campaign with the Italian squad and is still awaiting his first podium for the team.<\/p>\n
Ferrari entered the year hoping to challenge for the F1 title, but has been unable to keep up with runaway leaders McLaren.<\/p>\n
Hamilton has consistently been outpaced by team-mate Charles Leclerc, but has been routinely defended by team principal Fred Vasseur, who lured Hamilton to Ferrari from Mercedes.<\/p>\n
“Fred supporting me has been amazing,” Hamilton told media including RacingNews365.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s not been the perfect year, as we know, but it\u2019s been a lot of learning, and I think we\u2019re just going from strength to strength.<\/p>\n
“I think we are more solid and more united as a team than ever before.”<\/p>\n
With new regulations coming into play next year, it presents Ferrari with an opportunity to make a jump to the head of the pecking order.<\/p>\n
The Maranello is in the midst of a title drought and has not sealed a championship since 2008.<\/p>\n
Hamilton highlighted Ferrari can ensure its unsuccessful approaches this year can be rectified in time for when it is fighting for a title.<\/p>\n
“There are clearly things that we need to improve on, but we\u2019re under no illusions that that\u2019s the case,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Everyone is just flat-out focused on improvement processes and really, right now each race, we\u2019re learning something.<\/p>\n
“We look at the last race and our shortcomings are things that it\u2019s better to have now when we\u2019re not fighting for a championship, than in the moment we are.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton has outlined a positive detail amid Ferrari’s shortcomings this year.
