- 5:00 PMYahoo Sports — Hamilton says he has laid 'foundation' at Ferrari. Now can they finally get a win?
"It's a fact that's hard to digest for anyone who has followed Formula 1 over the last two decades: Lewis Hamilton hasn’t stood atop the victory podium in nearly two years. Once a serial winner who dominated the grid, the 41-year-old Hamilton struggled mightily last season, not reaching a podium once in his first campaign with Ferrari, which he'd joined from a Mercedes team that had given him the cars to win six of his seven world titles. Hamilton hasn’t savored victory since winning the Belgium GP in July 2024.
