Hamilton had a tough weekend in Miami: Leclerc beat him on track and Colapinto frustrated him. The Briton was stuck 'in no man's land'.
Lewis Hamilton found no solutions in Miami. Charles Leclerc consistently outperformed him on track while a series of setbacks threw him into the midfield, where he remained stranded all weekend. Bad luck combined with an on-track confrontation with that left the Briton visibly bitter.
Hamilton battled from the start. Leclerc set the pace while the seven-time champion desperately sought answers through the laps. The gap widened as the race progressed, leaving him trapped with no clear options.
The setbacks piled up, weighing on his mood. The friction with Colapinto was the breaking point. ' The words captured his complete frustration.
Leclerc did not escape unscathed either, collapsing in the final laps. The weekend left scars on Ferrari. For Ferrari, Miami exposes internal fractures that go beyond on-track performance.
The simultaneous inability of both drivers to capitalize on their respective moments points to deep structural problems in the team's race strategy and technical development. A team of Ferrari's magnitude cannot tolerate disorganization of this level if it aspires to compete at the highest level. Hamilton's personal context amplifies the gravity.
His arrival at Maranello represents an attempt at vindication after years of dominance. Miami places him in uncomfortable territory just as his first campaign begins: below his teammate's pace, entangled in minor frictions, questioned before establishing any foundation. Emotional recovery and lost technical momentum are difficult to regain in an already compromised season.
Hamilton's complicated debut at Maranello raises questions about his current form and integration into the team. The friction with Colapinto transcends Ferrari's internal problems and indicates tension simmering on the grid. Miami is not an isolated accident but a symptom of operational fractures at Ferrari.
The simultaneous inability to coordinate tactically, collapse under pressure, and lack of response to unforeseen variables reveal deep systemic problems. A team aspiring to the world championship cannot tolerate disorganization of this magnitude or structural weaknesses that emerge under competitive tension. Without decisive intervention, the rest of the season will be marked by similar patterns of decline.
For Hamilton, the implications go beyond Miami. His first campaign at Maranello begins with emotional scars that weigh in an atmosphere of doubt. The accumulation of technical setbacks, minor friction with Colapinto, and the competitive gap against Leclerc create an uncomfortable psychological precedent.
Recovering from a compromised start requires more than talent: it demands team stability, positive competitive momentum, and integration. On a grid where every tenth counts, starting behind exponentially amplifies the difficulty of recovery. Read at Mundo Deportivo
