Hamilton's Revival: Former Champion Mansell Sees a Rejuvenated Driver

According to Nigel Mansell, a former Formula 1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton has regained his momentum this season. Hamilton recently ended a 16-month drought without an F1 podium by finishing third at the Chinese Grand Prix, marking his first rostrum finish since joining Ferrari in 2025. The 41-year-old driver has also shown significant improvement in pace compared to his teammate Charles Leclerc. Mansell attributes Hamilton's resurgence to the new regulations, which seem to suit his driving style, and notes that Ferrari has done an excellent job over the winter. Hamilton himself credits his improved performance to better preparation and the fact that this year's car is more suited to his driving style. With the new season in full swing, Mansell believes Hamilton could potentially win a race, and the competition between Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli will be exciting to watch.
