SMEDLEY SHARES INSIDER VIEW OF HAMILTON AT FERRARI

Former Ferrari engineer Rob Smedley confirms Lewis Hamilton’s recent resurgence has the Scuderia "absolutely loving him." Smedley, who spent a decade at Maranello, revealed his old colleagues are "putting him on a pedestal" after his Barcelona win. Hamilton’s early season struggles are a distant memory, with a winter reset, intense team support, and a car he enjoys driving contributing to his turnaround. Smedley likens Hamilton’s potential impact to Michael Schumacher’s "dream team" era, hinting at a similar legacy.

Hamilton’s dedication is evident, contrasting his public persona with the immense effort he pours into his craft. Smedley emphasized that top drivers like Hamilton, Verstappen, and Schumacher work harder than perceived. While Charles Leclerc has faced recent difficulties, Smedley believes Hamilton will maintain his momentum, asserting Lewis is "way ahead" of his teammate in recent races. The veteran engineer expects Hamilton to "nick it" by season’s end, solidifying his lead within the team and pushing Ferrari forward.
