Ferrari’s team, Frederic Vasseur, said that Lewis Hamilton was disappointed with the qualifications of Bahrain Grand Prix.
Hamilton took the 9th place on Sakhir last Saturday, reducing the downbeat figure, describing his performance as “poor” and apologizing to the team that “I do not do well enough.”
But the seven world champions’ race day drive ranked fifth. Hamilton later suggested: “I think I found out how a car drives.”
He insisted on a brilliant pillar in the second round of the season in China last month and won a short form of a sprint format, but Hamilton has traced his new teammate, Charles Leclerc, and has publicly recognized that it took time to adapt to the driving style of the new job for more than 10 years in Ferrari’s car and Mercedes.
And after race, Vasseur said, “You will not replace 12 years of collaboration for two or two weeks. Sure, we must improve, but this is true for everyone in the team.
“It is a good idea to have a Lewis with this way of thinking.

“I liked the fact that he fell a little yesterday evening. He came back and said,” I’m ashamed of 10 days. “
“If you make a mistake in F1 today, you will lose 6-7 positions. 3-4 years ago.
“We must calm in terms of judgment of the performance, sometimes because there is almost nothing, you can change a good weekend to a very poor weekend.
“I thanked Lewis’s direction on Saturday, and I did my best to push him a little, and on Sunday he was very good.”

Vasseur said Hamilton’s disappointment is normal and he has seen positive signs in Britain’s performance during the weekend.
“I understand his frustration in the qualifiers because you look at all the practice sessions in Q1 and Q2, so it was one tenth of Charles.”
“Then arrive at Q3, the first rap is deleted, and the second rap commits a mistake and pays the price.

Lewis Hamilton is relaxed with P8 of Bahrain Grand Prix after Max VestAppen.
“He had a very powerful recovery, and he had a solid race he returned. I think the race time is almost the same compared to the 2nd and 3rd place.”
Brundle: AGE is not a problem with Lewis for the qualifier.
Like the most important records of almost all F1s, Hamilton insisted more than other drivers in history, but it argued whether seven champions remain as soon as possible compared to the team’s colleagues for the past 12 months.
He scored 19-5 with 19-5 by George Russell in the last season in Mercedes last season, and has already dropped to Leclerk in the Grands Prix session by this year.
Hamilton was 40 years old in January and was the second oldest driver in the grid after the 43 -year -old Fernando Alonso.
but, Sky Sports F1 Martin Brundle does not think that age is a factor that holds Hamilton with a single rap.
BRUNDLE has been qualified as Hamilton in Bahrain and said, “Sad interviews, we got used to last year.

Lewis Hamilton says he apologizes to Ferrari engineers and fans, believing that he doesn’t work according to the disappointing Bahrain Grand Prix qualifiers.
“My experience is that something else has eyes. For example, if Sebastian Vettel thinks of his end of his career, I think Sebastian Vettel will lose some surrounding vision.
“I can’t say that the size is not all right, but I still feel that age is not a matter of Lewis. I don’t think he’s lost a vision or that he’s lost any kind of driving ability.
“And he has a lot of young drivers around him who has gained more than 100 racial experiences and is still in his mid -20s.”
How quickly can Ferrari speed up the speed of the 2025 car?
Aside from Shanghai Sprint, the fourth and fifth place of Leclerc and Hamilton ranked fourth and fifth in Bahrain, showing the best combination of Ferrari’s most disappointing season.
Despite the emergence of safety vehicles that close the last 22 laps, the lead runner LECLERC still finished 20 seconds later than Sakhir’s MCLAREN lace winner OSCAR PIASTRI.
Vasseur said about the speed of the car, “It’s a little different from the situation to the situation.” “We can have some odors when we fight Mclarens like China or sometimes fight in Bahrain.
“Overall, on the average of the season, we think we are missing a quarter of two to three to fourth. We are missing something. It means that we should continue to work and force.

SKY F1’s TED Kravitz reflects all the big story points of Bahrain Grand Prix.
“If you look at the situation, the situation is much better when the situation is extreme and the tire management is more.”
Vasseur added:
“When we say ‘we’, Mercedes and Red Bull are more difficult than mclaren compared to mclaren, and the driver is slightly frustrating.
“The balance is good at the end of the FP2. At the beginning of the FP3, we should not improve together. It is not a driver but a team. Teamwork and we will come from ourselves.”
Ferrari ranked fourth in the producer championship this weekend and scored 94 points than the faces set by the dominant leader McLaren.
