Hamilton: “Santi? I like working with him, Vasseur moved mountains for me”

Hamilton-Ferrari, has the turning point arrived? Zero podiums in the GPs in the whole of 2025, two in five races in 2026: as Pino Allievi underlined in his coffee, this is the Lewis Hamilton that Ferrari wanted when they signed him before the start of the 2024 season. The seven-time world champion is just three points behind Charles Leclerc in the Drivers’ standings and now there is great anticipation to see how the English driver’s performance will continue in the long European F1 season which will start in Monaco and continue until end of September with the Azerbaijan GP. China and Canada are historically Sir Lewis’ strongholds along with obviously his own backyard Silverstone, it will be very interesting to see in Monaco if Hamilton can keep up with host Charles Leclerc in a weekend that should see Ferrari highly competitive. Hamilton underlined that he is having an excellent time within the Scuderia and the debut of former McLaren Grosjean as his new race engineer does not seem at all imminent because after the difficulties with Riccardo Adami the relationship with Carlo Santi is taking off. “My engineer is absolutely fantastic and I really enjoy working with him – Hamilton’s words – my second engineer also did a fantastic job this weekend and helped me get even more performance out of the car, bringing it to a much more optimal level. I was finally able to attack all the corners and, as I said, there were a lot of changes that I had to request. Vasseur supported me very much and, once again, went out of his way to make me comfortable, he moved mountains and this is finally starting to be reflected in my performance”.
