While the criticism has been harsh, Hamilton’s situation may be more complicated than it appears. Ferrari has already begun shifting its focus to the radical 2026 regulations, meaning Hamilton might not have the tools he needs to fight at the very front until then. The question now is whether he can turn things around and prove he’s more than just a driver who thrives with the best car. For Hamilton, this Ferrari chapter is no longer just about wins and titles — it’s about showing adaptability, resilience, and that his greatness doesn’t depend solely on having the fastest machine.
