Hamilton's Resurgence: A New Lease on Life

According to Nigel Mansell, a former Formula 1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton has regained his competitive edge 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. He has also been more competitive with his teammate Charles Leclerc in terms of pace, a significant improvement from last year. The new regulations seem to favor Hamilton's driving style, and Mansell believes the seven-time world champion could win a race this season. Hamilton attributes his return to form to better preparation and the fact that Ferrari has made significant improvements over the winter. He expressed that the previous year's car did not suit his driving style, but the new car has incorporated some of the changes he requested. Mansell thinks that George Russell needs to use his experience to win the intra-team battle against Kimi Antonelli, who currently leads the championship. The F1 season is expected to be exciting, with the Miami Grand Prix scheduled for May 1-3.
