Hamilton thinks Ferrari highlights are yet to come with lots of 'firsts ahead'

The seven-time world champion had a difficult debut year with Ferrari after spending more than a decade with Mercedes.

For the first time in his career, the British driver failed to score a Grand Prix podium, although he did secure Ferrari's first-ever Sprint victory at the Chinese Grand Prix since the format was introduced back in 2021.

When asked about his best moments, Hamilton explained that his standout moments with the Scuderia did not only come on track this year.

He told GPblog: "Highlights were the first day at the factory. My family was just there with me, driving around Fiorano for the first time, meeting the whole team for the first time. All the firsts were big, big highlights for the team."

Hamilton is therefore excited about the upcoming season: "And there's still more firsts to have, so that means there's something to look forward to."

Former Michael Schumacher engineer Luigi Mazzola believes a large part of responsibility for the Briton's difficulties lies with Ferrari.

According to the Italian, the team should have done more to help Hamilton get more comfortable. Find out his complete verdict here!
