Lewis Hamilton's style may be damaging his Ferrari form, highlights Alex Brundle

Lewis Hamilton's transition to Ferrari has proven to be challenging for the 40-year-old driver. Commentator Alex Brundle has identified an issue with Hamilton's braking style in high-speed corners that hampers his performance in Ferrari's SF-25 car.

Hamilton is still adapting to the characteristics of the Ferrari car, and his braking technique continues to affect his performance negatively. Leclerc, who is used to the Ferrari car, thus outperforms his teammate regularly.

"He has talked about moving the car towards him. And he’s talked about moving himself towards the car, I look at the data from Lewis every weekend. The trait is the same. He goes into high-speed corners and hits a little bit more brake pressure than Charles Leclerc. That difference, however minor it may seem, has significant consequences in a car like the SF-25," Alex Brundle explained on the F1 Nation podcast

Lewis Hamilton faces a critical point in his career and would have to recalibrate his driving style according to the SF-25's characteristics; otherwise, Hamilton and Ferrari's dream partnership may disappoint fans from both ends.
