Brembo is continuing work to get Lewis Hamilton comfortable with the brakes which they supply to Ferrari.<\/p>\n
That is the reveal made by the Italian firm\u2019s F1 customer manager Andrea Algeri, Hamilton<\/a> having had a mixed start to life as a Ferrari driver.<\/p>\n Brembo trying to get Lewis Hamilton in braking \u2018comfort zone\u2019<\/p>\n A lot of things changed for the seven-time World Champion when he moved from Mercedes to Ferrari. On top of stepping into a totally new culture, and moving away from the Mercedes engine for the first time in his F1 career, Hamilton also needed to adapt to new brakes.<\/p>\n It was Carbon Industrie brakes for Hamilton all the way at Mercedes, and the adaptation to Brembo brakes \u2013 plus Ferrari life in general \u2013 has been challenging.<\/p>\n Hamilton spoke of a \u201cnew component\u201d contributing to a Belgian GP Sprint qualifying spin. It later emerged that Hamilton was using a new combination of Brembo brake materials \u2013 including discs and pads \u2013 at Spa-Francorchamps, potentially explaining his comment.<\/p>\n Algeri confirmed that Brembo are hard at work trying to help Hamilton \u2013 following his \u201ccomplaints\u201d \u2013 with his adaptation.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was very exciting to start to work with Lewis,\u201d Algeri told The Race<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, we had some complaints from him within our regular communication and so on, and we are working hard to try to put him in a comfort zone in terms of braking.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know he was used to a different material first, but also a different set-up in terms of general braking of the car that are not only the brakes themselves, but also engine braking, energy recovery and so on.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we have been pushing a lot from the team, and we are working hard to try to solve the situation and to have the best result from him.<\/p>\n \u201cOn top of that, Ferrari is obviously pushing to be in front, and as usual, is one of the teams that gave us the right pressure to go ahead. We are happy to do it. It\u2019s challenging.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, I\u2019m not hiding myself. It\u2019s challenging because it\u2019s really an important job that we are doing, but it is also the way we get to improve our product.\u201d<\/p>\n Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc head-to-head in F1 2025<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\u00a0F1 2025: Head-to-head qualifying statistics between team-mates<\/a><\/p>\n
