HINCHCLIFFE: Why 2026 is the perfect opportunity for the Hamilton/Ferrari partnership to flourish
IndyCar winner and F1 TV pundit James Hinchcliffe looks at why it was always likely to take time for Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari to be firing on all cylinders.


Lewis Hamilton is having a challenging time of it currently at Ferrari. He is sixth in the Drivers' standings, 66 points behind his team mate Charles Leclerc, and has yet to stand on a Grand Prix podium this year.
We’re talking about a seven-time world champion with 104 poles, 105 wins and over 200 podium finishes. He is one of the greatest drivers of all time and he’s driving for the most storied team in the history of Formula 1.
