Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel has backed Lewis Hamilton to succeed at Ferrari following his difficult start at the Italian squad.<\/p>\n
Hamilton has tasted some success at the opening six rounds as he emerged victorious in the China sprint race before finishing in the top three in the Miami sprint outing.<\/p>\n
However, qualifying and grand prix pace have been a struggle for the 40-year-old at his new team.<\/p>\n
Vettel was once a core member of Ferrari’s set-up as he raced for the squad from 2015 until the end of 2020.<\/p>\n
Although it has gone through various changes since his departure, Vettel understands the challenges that come with adapting to the Ferrari lifestyle.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t know everyone there anymore, so I don’t have complete insight,\u201d Vettel told Kronen Zeitung.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it’s obviously a big change \u2013 certainly for him [Hamilton] too. Ferrari has its own rules, and the culture in this team is different.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Hamilton continues to work to get comfortable within the team, Vettel, who contested against the Briton in several F1 title fights, has backed him to succeed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know they’re doing everything they can to make this transition easier for him and ensure his success,\u201d Vettel added.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd if anyone can do it, it’s Lewis. There’s no doubt about his abilities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel has backed Lewis Hamilton to succeed at Ferrari following his difficult start at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92019,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4103],"tags":[859,4199,1076,1074,1077,1075,997,707,4200,998,1073,1072,1071,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-92018","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-f1","8":"tag-daniel-ricciardo","9":"tag-f1","10":"tag-f1-calendar","11":"tag-f1-live","12":"tag-f1-results","13":"tag-f1-standings","14":"tag-ferrari","15":"tag-formula-1","16":"tag-formula1","17":"tag-lewis-hamilton","18":"tag-max-verstappen","19":"tag-motorsport","20":"tag-racing","21":"tag-sports","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114487721027993410","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92018\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
