Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari sparked immense excitement at the preseason F1 75 launch event, marking a high point for a team in a title drought. With a feeling of invigoration, Hamilton anticipated a successful year alongside teammate Charles Leclerc. However, as the season progressed, the initial enthusiasm waned. By the summer break, Ferrari struggled with performance, overshadowed by McLaren's dominance and lacking significant achievements, leaving Hamilton feeling defeated and the team grappling with dwindling hopes after an optimistic start.
Ferrari's unveiling at the preseason F1 75 launch event was the loudest of the sport's 10 teams. Hamilton was buzzing from his big move from Mercedes, one that had quite literally been a year in the making.
Hamilton told the crowd he felt 'invigorated' by his new challenge. He and Leclerc had both driven the new car at the team's Fiorano test track and were quietly confident about the year ahead.
But now, the hype and excitement that Hamilton brought with him to Ferrari has disappeared so quickly that it's hard to believe it ever existed at all.
Worst of all, Hamilton's giddy invigoration appears to have given way to complete surrender, tarnishing the initial excitement surrounding his move to Ferrari.
