Lewis Hamilton’s fierce rival claims F1 legend is 'back to his best' at Ferrari

Former Mercedes team-mate and title rival Nico Rosberg has praised Lewis Hamilton, saying the seven-time champion is 'back to his best' in his second season at Ferrari. Hamilton endured a difficult debut campaign in 2025, finishing sixth in the drivers' standings without a single grand prix podium, though he did win the Chinese GP sprint race in March 2025. His form improved in 2026, when he secured a podium at the Chinese GP in Shanghai, finishing in the top three alongside Kimi Antonelli and George Russell.
