Carlos Sainz has discussed Lewis Hamilton’s difficult start to his Ferrari career, but the Spaniard’s words do not bode well for the Formula 1 champion.

Hamilton replaced Sainz at the team and the 30-year-old was forced to look elsewhere for a race seat, eventually settling for Williams who have proven to be regular points contenders in 2025.

Can Hamilton win an F1 title with Ferrari?

Leclerc secured the team’s second grand prix podium of the season in Monaco, whilst Hamilton was left stuck in the pack after he was faced with a grid drop for the race.

The Ferrari drivers will be hoping that upgrades at the Spanish Grand Prix can remedy their pace issues this year, or else they will be reliant on the 2026 regulation changes to launch a championship campaign.
