Hamilton's Revival: Former Champion Mansell Weighs In

Nigel Mansell believes Lewis Hamilton has regained his competitive edge this season. The seven-time world champion recently ended a 16-month podium drought with a third-place finish at the Chinese Grand Prix, marking his first rostrum finish since joining Ferrari in 2025. Hamilton has also been more competitive with his teammate Charles Leclerc, thanks in part to the new regulations that seem to favor his driving style. Mansell thinks Hamilton could potentially win a race this season, saying 'Lewis is fired up again' and praising Ferrari's impressive work over the winter. Hamilton credits his improved performance to better mental and physical preparation, as well as the team's efforts to develop a car that suits his driving style. Meanwhile, Mansell also shared his thoughts on the current season, including the potential for a two-horse race between Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli, and emphasized the importance of focus and experience in the intra-team battle.
