Hamilton's Revitalized Performance This Season
According to Nigel Mansell, a former Formula 1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton has regained his momentum this season. Hamilton recently ended his 16-month drought without an F1 podium finish by securing third place at the Chinese Grand Prix, marking his first rostrum finish since joining Ferrari in 2025. He has also shown significant improvement in terms of pace, closing the gap with his teammate Charles Leclerc. The new regulations seem to favor Hamilton's driving style, and Mansell believes the seven-time world champion may win a race this season. Mansell stated, 'Lewis is fired up again, and it's fantastic to see him performing so well.' Hamilton attributed his return to form to better preparation, both mentally and physically. He also noted that the new car is more suited to his driving style, thanks to the changes he requested and the team's efforts during the winter. With the season still underway, the competition is expected to be fierce, and Mansell thinks George Russell needs to utilize his experience to outperform his teammate Kimi Antonelli. The battle for the championship is heating up, with the Miami Grand Prix scheduled for May 1-3, and fans can catch all the action live on Sky Sports F1.
