Lewis Hamilton has hinted at a rethink of how he will personally approach his second Formula 1 season with Ferrari, after a challenging 2025.
The seven-time World Champion is facing a crucial year with the Scuderia, and will be aiming to improve on his underwhelming bow with the team.
2025 saw him fail to finish on the podium across a whole season for the first time in his career, and become only the seventh full-time Ferrari driver to do so.
To mark his 41st birthday on Wednesday, Hamilton made a social media post about change, as he hopes to reset for his 20th season in the sport.
Despite the disappointment 2025 brought him, Hamilton was given a boost to his personal team with the return of former physiotherapist and confidante Angela Cullen.
And the Kiwi will surely be part of Hamilton’s plans when he sits down to consider how he will face fewer off-track commitments, something he alluded to in Abu Dhabi in December.
“I think we just need to analyse where we’ve been, what’s been good, areas that we can improve on,” he told media including Motorsport Week.
“I know where they all are. It’s sitting down with the team at the end of the year.
“I’ll look internally with my personal team away from the track and see what we can do make [things] more efficient with timing and travelling and all these different things and I’ll do the same with the team.”
Hamilton will return to the track later this month at F1’s behind-closed-doors testing schedule at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
Ferrari is reportedly set to experiment with its secretive Project 678 car, which it hopes will take the team back to the top, before the two regular testing programmes in Bahrain in February.
