What's gone wrong for Hamilton at Ferrar...

THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

We ask why Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari has so far fallen short of expectations in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. 


Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm join Edd Straw to discuss the fallout from Hamilton’s struggles during the Hungarian Grand Prix, and the comments he made during the weekend, have led. 


We tackle questions from The Race Members’ Club about whether Hamilton’s form is beginning to be untenable and how he bounced back from such a difficult weekend, as well as on the question of if retirement is an option. 


The question of who Ferrari  might hypothetically look to if Hamilton were to walk away is also tackled, along with if it was wrong to replace Carlos Sainz in the first place. 


There’s also questions about Charles Leclerc’s future, Sauber’s trajectory, Red Bull’s driver plans and more.
