Brundle: Hamilton Thrives at Ferrari Through Trust

Former F1 driver Martin Brundle credits Lewis Hamilton's spectacular 2026 form to the seven-time champion finally establishing trust with Ferrari, following a challenging 2025 season without podium finishes.

Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports analyst Martin Brundle has explained Lewis Hamilton's remarkable resurgence in 2026, attributing it to the 41-year-old's growing relationship with Ferrari. After a difficult 2025 campaign where Hamilton failed to secure a podium, the seven-time world champion has now established a commanding lead, sitting 49 points ahead of his nearest competitor.

Brundle suggests that Hamilton's ability to build trust with the Ferrari team has been the key factor in his recent success. The Briton, who joined Ferrari in 2025, appears to have adapted to the team's dynamics and car characteristics, transforming early struggles into dominant performances in the current season. michezonews.co.za
