Brawn’s advice to Ferrari to see a “vintage Hamilton” in 2026

Sir Lewis’ crisis The 2026 season is now imminent also for a team like Ferrari, which among its major objectives will have to recover from a 2025 to forget not only for the team, but also for Lewis Hamilton. Having arrived in Maranello last year, the Englishman has never managed to achieve a pole position, a podium or a victory in a year, something never achieved before in his career and by no other driver in the history of the Red before him for so many consecutive GPs. Brawn’s support A history, that of the Cavallino, which has instead experienced periods of great success such as that of the early 2000s, when Ross Brawn was in the role of Technical Director. The English engineer, in his last year as Head of Sports Management at Mercedes (2013), met Hamilton, a driver who today he supports despite the great crisis in results, the same one that is increasing doubts about the possibility of witnessing his return to success. It was from Brawn that some ‘advice’ came to Ferrari, who, according to him, will have to make changes to get the best out of the 41-year-old: “I think we would all like him to be successful – he commented to Sky Sports – I have a soft spot for Ferrari. I spent 10 years there and I know how tough it is, but there is always a fine line between a team that merges and one that doesn’t merge at all, and last year it didn’t go exactly like that. If he receives incentives, if he seizes an opportunity, I think that we’ll see a vintage Lewis. So, I hope that happens!”
