Lewis Hamilton F1 resurgence pinned on factor 'nobody talks about'

Lewis Hamilton has shown a significant resurgence in Formula 1 form in 2025 under the new regulations, currently sitting second in the drivers' standings after winning his first grand prix with Ferrari in Barcelona. The turnaround follows a difficult debut season at Ferrari in 2024, during which he failed to score a single podium and was consistently outpaced by teammate Charles Leclerc. Two-time F1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi attributed Hamilton's improved performance to his aptitude for the new 2026-era car, defending the seven-time champion against critics who had questioned his ability.
