a much stronger second campaign with Ferrari this year after enduring a nightmare debut season in red through a hugely challenging and disappointing 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Having gone podium-less for the first time in his illustrious F1 career last season, Hamilton has already racked up four podiums this term, including a memorable first victory in nearly two years in Barcelona.<\/p>\n<figure>

The Silver Arrows have won all but one race this year and taken pole position at every round.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think other than me going into Mercedes\u2019 garage and undoing the bolts!\u201d Hamilton joked. \u201cLook, Mercedes is a phenomenal team. You\u2019re seeing them perform at such an amazing level, and it\u2019s really beautiful to see when a team\u2019s fully in synergy. What they\u2019ve brought and what they\u2019ve done this year is mighty, and I think it\u2019s going to take a huge amount for anyone to close them down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve seen now also Red Bull have really taken a step. They made a massive step in the last race. So undoubtedly, I imagine Max is going to be a big contender for it, and he\u2019s got the power also to match the Mercedes. So, I anticipate they\u2019re going to be really strong.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think as a team, we have to just continue to believe, continue to just stay calm and keep working. We just have to extract everything we can from each weekend, and even, if possible, a little bit more than maybe what performance-wise is possible. And then there are going to be some tracks where it neutralises a bit, like I would imagine, Budapest might be a little bit of a closer battle because it\u2019s not got long straights. We need more of those sorts of circuits, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think it\u2019s also too early. I mean, Kimi [Antonelli] is far ahead. That is still a lot of points ahead, and he pulled some more points ahead in the last race. So that\u2019s why I said it\u2019s a good reality check for us, but it\u2019s not over till it\u2019s over. Every single person is so geed up and pushing as much as they can, so that\u2019s all I can ever ask for.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block block-echobox\">\n<h2>Subscribe to our F1 Newsletter<\/h2>\n<div class=\"info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-info\" id=\"edit-info--2\">\n<p>Get the latest F1 news, exclusives, interviews and promotions from the paddock direct to your inbox<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"extra-info js-form-wrapper form-wrapper\" data-drupal-selector=\"edit-legal\" id=\"edit-legal--2\">\n<p>For more information see our Privacy Policy<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>In this article<\/h2>\n<div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">F1<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">Lewis Hamilton<\/div>\n<div class=\"field_keywords\">Ferrari<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block block-next-prev\">\n<div class=\"next-prev-pager contextual-region\">\n<div class=\"items\">\n<div class=\"item prev\">\n<h3>  Previous<\/h3>\n<div class=\"card card_default\">\n<div class=\"content\"> Leclerc insists there&#8217;s no shift towards backing Hamilton over him at Ferrari<\/div>\n<source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1407656_hires.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item next\">\n<h3> Next <\/h3>\n<div class=\"card card_default\">\n<div class=\"content\"> Top F1 teams bar one bring developments to Silverstone as British GP upgrades revealed<\/div>\n<source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=1920&amp;format=webp 1920w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=1800&amp;format=webp 1800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=1600&amp;format=webp 1600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=1500&amp;format=webp 1500w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=1200&amp;format=webp 1200w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=900&amp;format=webp 900w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=800&amp;format=webp 800w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=600&amp;format=webp 600w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/2026-07\/xpb_1422198_hires.jpg?width=400&amp;format=webp 400w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1024px) 710px, (min-width:768px) 62vw, 97vw\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-author-block block block-configurable-views-block\">\n<div class=\"author-view grid-view js-view-dom-id-1f20b6dadea6c6cfdc94dc1869b2bdcc14be3b9b8180af957fdbafe7c0d81f12\">\n<div class=\"card user default\">\n<div class=\"image\"> <source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/1bc46a82-ac76-40ea-9cf5-d309b802b0ef_1.jpeg?height=270&amp;format=webp 270w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/1bc46a82-ac76-40ea-9cf5-d309b802b0ef_1.jpeg?height=180&amp;format=webp 180w,https:\/\/www.crash.net\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures\/1bc46a82-ac76-40ea-9cf5-d309b802b0ef_1.jpeg?height=90&amp;format=webp 90w\" sizes=\"100px\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"header\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"name\">Lewis Larkam<\/div>\n<div class=\"role\">F1 Editor<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"desc\">\n<p>Lewis regularly attends Grands Prix for Crash.net around the world.

The Silver Arrows have won all but one race this year and taken pole position at every round.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think other than me going into Mercedes\u2019 garage and undoing the bolts!\u201d Hamilton joked. \u201cLook, Mercedes is a phenomenal team. You\u2019re seeing them perform at such an amazing level, and it\u2019s really beautiful to see when a team\u2019s fully in synergy. What they\u2019ve brought and what they\u2019ve done this year is mighty, and I think it\u2019s going to take a huge amount for anyone to close them down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve seen now also Red Bull have really taken a step. They made a massive step in the last race. So undoubtedly, I imagine Max is going to be a big contender for it, and he\u2019s got the power also to match the Mercedes. So, I anticipate they\u2019re going to be really strong.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think as a team, we have to just continue to believe, continue to just stay calm and keep working. We just have to extract everything we can from each weekend, and even, if possible, a little bit more than maybe what performance-wise is possible. And then there are going to be some tracks where it neutralises a bit, like I would imagine, Budapest might be a little bit of a closer battle because it\u2019s not got long straights. We need more of those sorts of circuits, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think it\u2019s also too early. I mean, Kimi [Antonelli] is far ahead.

The Silver Arrows have won all but one race this year and taken pole position at every round.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think other than me going into Mercedes\u2019 garage and undoing the bolts!\u201d Hamilton joked. \u201cLook, Mercedes is a phenomenal team. You\u2019re seeing them perform at such an amazing level, and it\u2019s really beautiful to see when a team\u2019s fully in synergy. What they\u2019ve brought and what they\u2019ve done this year is mighty, and I think it\u2019s going to take a huge amount for anyone to close them down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve seen now also Red Bull have really taken a step. They made a massive step in the last race. So undoubtedly, I imagine Max is going to be a big contender for it, and he\u2019s got the power also to match the Mercedes. So, I anticipate they\u2019re going to be really strong.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<aside>\n<div class=\"block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-block\">\n<div class=\"mpu-title\"><span>Article continues below<\/span><span>ADVERTISEMENT<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think as a team, we have to just continue to believe, continue to just stay calm and keep working. We just have to extract everything we can from each weekend, and even, if possible, a little bit more than maybe what performance-wise is possible. And then there are going to be some tracks where it neutralises a bit, like I would imagine, Budapest might be a little bit of a closer battle because it\u2019s not got long straights. We need more of those sorts of circuits, to be honest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think it\u2019s also too early. I mean, Kimi [Antonelli] is far ahead. That is still a lot of points ahead, and he pulled some more points ahead in the last race. So that\u2019s why I said it\u2019s a good reality check for us, but it\u2019s not over till it\u2019s over.
