Lewis Hamilton 'power' hailed as Ferrari transformation opens F1 title door

Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has transformed his fortunes at Ferrari in 2026 after a difficult debut season in 2025 where he failed to secure a single podium. Hamilton currently sits second in the drivers' standings with one win and four podium finishes, sitting 50 points behind championship leader Kimi Antonelli. Former F1 world champion Damon Hill has praised Hamilton's influence at Ferrari, crediting his close collaboration with the team over the winter break — during which he helped design a car around his needs — as key to the Scuderia's resurgence as title contenders.
