Hamilton\u2019s best result so far has been a P4.<\/p>\n<p>Since the introduction of the ground effect era in 2022, Hamilton has been unable to replicate his previous successes, and Steiner believes he knows why.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With the new ground effect cars, Lewis struggled from the start,&#8221; he told web.de.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And in 2026 there will be new cars, new engines and no one knows who will be strong then. Maybe he says: I&#8217;ll take that with me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Steiner fears that 2026 could be the end of Hamilton\u2019s F1 career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If that doesn\u2019t work either, then it\u2019s over. Even if not from one day to the next.<\/p>\n<p> If he wanted to quit, he would communicate this in good time so that the team has time to find a replacement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250803-0571-6894544d5d2c0.jpg@webp.webp\" class=\"w-auto\" alt=\"Hamilton battling against Verstappen at the Hungarian GP\"\/>Steiner throws Hamilton a career saving Formula One lifeline<\/p>\n<p>The Italian-American then issued Hamilton some key advice that could change the course of his current trajectory:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrit your teeth, give it your all, but don\u2019t get too mental. Not constantly thinking about what others think or say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you can\u2019t beat Charles, try to stick with him. The biggest enemy is internal pressure. And at the moment he is trying too much.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wants to force it. But if you know that the performance is not fully there, then just make the best of it and you will see: looseness, confidence, rhythm come back,\u201d Steiner concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton&#8216;s situation at Ferrari has changed dramatically since his presentation at Maranello: from saviour to nearly outcast.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":69345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[49,48,578,576,577,82],"class_list":["post-69344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
