Lewis Hamilton names 'rescuers' after nightmare Ferrari debut year

Lewis Hamilton endured the worst season of his career in 2025 during his first year at Ferrari, failing to score a single podium in any grand prix — a career first — apart from winning the Chinese GP Sprint. Following new technical regulations for 2026 and changes he pushed through at Ferrari, including the adoption of Carbon Industries brake discs, Hamilton has dramatically rebounded, scoring four podiums in the first seven races of the new season, with three consecutive podiums in Canada, Monaco, and Barcelona culminating in his first Ferrari victory. Hamilton credited his fans and family for 'rescuing' him during the difficult 2025 campaign.
