Sky Sports F1 commentator Harry Benjamin highlighted the stark emotional contrast between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc following the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

Ferrari hit back from a double Q2 elimination to🐻 come away with two cars finishing inside the top six.

Hamilton scored his best r𝓀esult of the 2025 F1 season, finishing fourth.

Leclerc finished sixth after the ⭕timing of the Virtual Safety Car and Safety Car didn’t play into his hands.

Aft🌱er the race, Hamilton was positive about the progress he’s made in recent races.

On the oth♊er hand, Leclerc was dejected by Ferrari’s lack of performance relative to𒉰 McLaren and Red Bull.

Speaking on the lates🅷t episode of the , Benjamin noticed a clear difference between Hamilton and Leclerc.

“I think he will be buoyed by that and optimistic aඣ🌌nd take that forward,” Benjamin said.

“I think Hamilton is happier, especially after Miami actuaꦅlly where we had all those amazing bits of team radio and you think he’d 𝄹be absolutely fuming after the race but he wasn’t. He was fairly chipper but that’s what he alluded to. I think he’s just quite happy with the fact he’s closing that gap and on par with Charles Leclerc in terms of outright pace in that Ferrari.

“The next problem will be now they need to make that car back into a podium or race-winning challenger. That’s where Hami𒁏lton is taking his confidence from at the moment.

“Charles Leclerc seems incredibly despondent - the complete opposite side of the spectrum compared to Hamilton. Bringing that kind of ener๊gy isn’t going to help Leclerc at his home weekend either for Monaco.”

Ferrari’s disappointing 2025 season

Ferrari finished last year as McLaren’s closest challenger, finishing just 14 points off in the 🔯constructors’ championship.

This year, Ferrari ꦏare already 165 poin🌱ts off after just seven races.

The🏅 Scuderia have just one podium to thei𝓀r name, with Leclerc finishing third in Saudi Arabia.

While low-speed performance was their strength last year, allowi๊ng Leclerc to win his home race in Monaco, it’s been a weakness in 2025.

Assessing Ferrari as a whole🧸, Benjamin added: “It’s a bit erratic from Ferrari in terms of the car they’ve brought this year.They were good in slow-speed last year and a twist of fate, and it’s changed up again.

“They’re trying to maybe pin a bit on this technical directive change for Spain but come on. It’s not what Ferrari should be doing. At the en☂d of last year, they were within a shot of the constructors’ championship with McLaren.

“They were theoretically the second-best team at the end of last 𝐆year. They should have flown out the blocks at the beginning of the season like McLaren did.”
