Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari struggles continue. This time, the Briton faced a simply torrid time at the Spanish Grand Prix.

Despite teammate Charles Leclerc obtaining a podium finish, Hamilton finished seventh on the road, just behind Sauber’s Nico Hulkenberg. With 15 Formula 1 races remaining, Hamilton will be worried about the rest of the season.

Ferrari put Hamilton in a tough spot by making him let his teammate through on the way to the podium, highlighting a Scuderia stint that’s fallen short of expectations.

With his 40th birthday approaching, he may be realising the challenge he’s taken on is steeper than expected.

Lewis Hamilton could be debating his Ferrari future after Spanish Grand Prix

Hopes now rest on next year’s regulation changes to revive his pursuit of a record eighth title. His downbeat mood after the race in Barcelona suggests doubts are creeping in about what lies ahead.

“I can’t take anything positive from sixth place,” he said. “I was struggling with a slipping rear end. I have no idea why it went so badly. In terms of car balance, that was the worst race this year.

When asked what he would like to do next, he simply replied, “Home.”

‘Home’ could be a sign that he is already fed up with Ferrari, and the Brit could call for a drastic change to his vehicle.

Did Lewis Hamilton make the right move to move from Mercedes to Ferrari?

Speaking to the British media, he iterated that Spain was his worst race yet and that he cannot explain his continued struggles.

Hamilton lacks confidence in his Ferrari car changes, and it seems that his bold winter switch from Mercedes may not have paid off. For the majority of the season, they have looked quicker than he has on track.

Changing the car concept over the winter hasn’t worked and was sadly a gamble which they may regret. For now, their best solution is to work together to find a solution for the rest of this year and try their best to nail the new regulations for 2026.

Hamilton and Leclerc were ‘tough’ to interview in Spain, which shows that their struggles aren’t just affecting the seven-time champion. His Monegasque partner has been with the team through many ups and downs over the last six years and is feeling the effects of the current situation too.
