Ferrari can reel Mercedes in, says Hamilton
Hamilton acknowledges Ferrari's strong race pace and strategic challenges but believes they can close the gap to Mercedes despite a significant early-season deficit.
- On March 8 in Melbourne, Lewis Hamilton said Ferrari were right in the fight despite being outpaced by Mercedes in the Australian Grand Prix, with Hamilton finishing fourth behind Leclerc.
- Given the opening stint, Ferrari's starts explain their competitiveness as Leclerc and Hamilton's lightning starts saw them run first and third, despite Hamilton starting seventh, Hamilton said his race pace was stronger than qualifying.
- Hamilton said he was closing the gap at the end and believed he might have taken the podium with maybe one or two more laps, praising the team for their progress despite not being as fast as Mercedes.
- Following the race, Hamilton said Ferrari will review whether stopping would have been better after finishing third and fourth, as they skipped a VSC pit stop.
- Amid debate, the rule change shifts race style and energy priorities as Hamilton praised the new rules despite previously disliking ground-effect cars while drivers face tougher battery management under the 50-50 split of internal combustion and electrification.
