Lewis Hamilton‘s debut year at Ferrari has been challenging. The 40-year-old is giving it his best but is still unable to score good enough results. Hamilton’s best result this season is only a sprint race win in China, as he is yet to even achieve a podium finish. Following the Hungarian GP, the teams and drivers will have a month-long summer break as the seven-time champion anticipates a lot of emotional moments over the break.

Lewis Hamilton has remained vocal about the issues he has been facing at Ferrari in terms of performance. The frustration seems to only grow for the 40-year-old since he cannot compete for a podium finish, let alone a race win. As such, with the summer break upcoming, Hamilton would finally get a much-needed break following the ups and downs of the 2025 season.

Speaking on his dismal time with Ferrari, Lewis Hamilton reckoned that he had to integrate into a new culture and a new team, which didn’t turn out as great as he expected. Hamilton acknowledged that the transition wasn’t smooth in a lot of areas. Additionally, he reflected upon the first half of the 2025 season and labeled it a real battle in terms of performance.

Integrating into a new culture and into a new team. It’s not gone smoothly in all areas, and it’s been a real battle.

Lewis Hamilton said, as quoted by Sky Sports F1

Lewis Hamilton pinpointed that he needed to get away from Ferrari and Formula 1 over the summer break and get a recharge. The 40-year-old looks forward to spending a lot of time with the kids under his Mission 44 program and laughing with them. Hamilton shockingly claimed that he would definitely let out some tears due to the extremely challenging season with the Italian constructor.

I definitely need to get away and recharge, be around the kids, laugh, let go. I’m sure there’ll be some tears at some point and I think that’s really healthy

Hamilton noted that a lot of the seasons in the past had been hard in their own way. While Ferrari is giving it their all to improve their performance, the seven-time champion labeled his time at the Scuderia as the most intense one. The Briton further explained that the increased intensity was due to the workload of racing for the most historic and iconic team in the pinnacle of motorsport.

The last god knows how many seasons have been hard in their own way. This one has definitely been the most intense one, I would say, just from a work perspective.

Lewis Hamilton noted

Ferrari has still maintained their runner-up position in the constructors’ championship despite the seemingly deteriorating pace.
