Bearman reveals Hamilton Ferrari advantage

Ferrari have struggled to compete with Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes at recent events, with Leclerc finishing outside of the points the past two consecutive weekends.

The deficit in performance between Mercedes and Ferrari have led some to question whether Hamilton has made the right decision by switching teams for 2025.

However, Ferrari’s junior driver, Ollie Bearman, has revealed that the champion will bring a ‘winning mentality’ back to the team next season.

"I think he'll bring a lot of experience to the team," Bearman said to Sky Sports.

"He's won seven world championships - that's something that not many people can say. He'll bring a good mentality to the team, a winning mentality, but of course his talent is undeniable. He's one of the best to have ever done it."
