‘Lewis Hamilton not as consistent as Max Verstappen’ as Ferrari contribution questioned

Ex-F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has questioned how muchHamilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari at the end of this season, bringing an end to his long-term association with the German brand.

The seven-time world champion has endured a tough start with Mercedes in 2024, scoring just eight points - his worst start to a campaign since 2009.Max Verstappen“He will certainly bring his expertise and insights, but I think Ferrari is already well on its way. Hamilton won’t be able to contribute too much,” Schumacher told“I’m sure Vasseur wouldn’t pay that much money for nothing. He will offer and give Hamilton everything to ensure he can perform.

“Hamilton is of course a seven-time World Champion and a fantastic driver. But I don’t think he has the qualities that Verstappen has. “I don’t think he is as consistent as Verstappen. And he cannot get that extra tenth out at any cost.”“Hamilton has to feel like he can win to be able to drive fast,” he added.

“So the question is will he keep up with the times when the new rules come in? Because with new rules, the driving style also changes, and he may have difficulty with that.”- Flavio Briatore has also raised similar concerns.Read More
