Lewis Hamilton has just four races remaining this season to claim a maiden Ferrari grand prix podium, in what is the missing piece of his first campaign with the Scuderia.<\/p>\n
It has been a difficult first year with Ferrari for Hamilton, who has taken time adapting to the team’s culture but, more specifically, how to drive one of its F1 cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There have been several major differences between what he had at Mercedes and what he has been given at Ferrari, some more significant than others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the big differences for Hamilton has been the brakes Ferrari use, as Mercedes did not use Brembo. Trusting the front of his car has been a real challenge, although progress is being made.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He did claim a surprise Sprint pole and win in Shanghai, in what is currently his only real triumph in red so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mexico City marked his first top three qualifying result of the season, with a podium having been a real possibility until he received a 10-second time penalty.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The gap between Hamilton and Charles Leclerc has also reduced considerably, yet it is the Monegasque who has been claiming all of Ferrari’s podiums.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hamilton has S\u00e3o Paulo, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi remaining to ensure he claims a podium in his first year with Ferrari, but will he?<\/p>\n
