Lewis Hamilton's former teammate delivers verdict on his Ferrari career so far
Two-time Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso has offered an explanation for Lewis Hamilton 's current struggles at Ferrari.
The seven-time world champion, who joined Ferrari this season, has yet to secure a podium finish, while his teammate Charles Leclerc has achieved three.
The Spanish driver, who raced alongside the British driver at McLaren, suggests Lewis Hamilton's difficulties mirror his previous season at Mercedes, where George Russell appeared more comfortable with the car.
He believes the Ferrari car might be challenging to drive, similar to the Mercedes last year, contributing to Hamilton's deficit against Charles Leclerc.
Despite the current form, Alonso acknowledges Hamilton's capabilities and notes that he can quickly turn his performance around.
