The seven-time world champion has yet to reach the podium in 2025, with his worst qualifying performance ever coming in Las Vegas, where he started last on pure pace before finishing eighth following McLaren\u2019s disqualifications.<\/p>\n
Asked if he would have made the same move with hindsight, Hamilton said he wouldn\u2019t hesitate to join Ferrari again.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirstly, that is a hypothetical question, and I wouldn\u2019t really go into that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I would absolutely, I don\u2019t regret the decision I made in joining the team. I know it takes to build and grow within an organisation, and I expected that.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a lot of work to do over the winter and we\u2019ll analyse the season and there are lots of improvements we need to make collectively, but no-one is under any illusions in the team and we all have a part to play, and I believe we can, and am hoping we implement those changes along with a better package next year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamilton acknowledged the gap to team-mate Charles Leclerc, who has spent seven years at Ferrari, but insisted he is focused on integrating with his new environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not concerned about it,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve just been focusing on my side during this period, and obviously, Charles has done a great job.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s been here for seven years, he\u2019s got a great team around him that he\u2019s worked with for many years, so it is a well-oiled machine.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn my side, it is a new group of people, a new environment for me, and I\u2019m still getting used to working with them, and then I had a new member halfway through the year, so we\u2019re working as hard as we can.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut getting it to work as well as someone who has had it for several years, you just don\u2019t do it like that; it takes a bit of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the challenging campaign, Hamilton remains optimistic about the final two races of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the car should be pretty decent in terms of speed profile,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cMight be hard to keep up with Red Bull but hoping for a better weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamilton sits sixth in the drivers\u2019 championship, 15 points clear of the man who replaced him at Mercedes, Kimi Antonelli.<\/p>\n
