Ferrari in focus: Hamilton's great struggle for returning to the top!

Melbourne, Australien - The pressure on Ferrari grows! Gerhard Berger, the ex-driver of the legendary Italian F1 team, has found clear words. Before the start of the season in Melbourne, where record world champion Lewis Hamilton makes his debut for Scuderia, Berger emphasizes that "success with Ferrari is twice as difficult as with any other team". This challenge is shaped by the mystical aura of the traditional association, which, according to Berger, sometimes leads to leaning back into the deck chair and sunbathes instead of working hard. "But it is not time to sunbathe, but it requires the hardest bone work," continued Berger.

History speaks volumes: Niki Lauda and Michael Schumacher, two of the greatest drivers of all time, have shown what is necessary to be successful with Ferrari. According to Berger, they were constantly involved in the team and used Ferrari's resources perfectly. After Schumacher's era, who shone with five titles in a row, it has been almost 20 years ago that a Ferrari pilot was able to win the driver's championship. Kimi Raikkonen won the last title for the team in 2007 after benefiting from the internal dispute at McLaren. Berger himself did not manage to win the title at Ferrari in the 80s and 90s in the six years.

Hamilton's challenge

Berger is optimistic that Hamilton will have no problems due to his experience. "He is integrated into the team at lightning speed," Berger is certain. Ferrari has the potential to play a role in the title race. It remains to be seen whether this is the case with Hamilton or his teammate Charles Leclerc. "That will show," says Berger, in allusion to the high expectation, which is linked to the traditional team and his new star, such as laola1.at reported. This challenge takes on dimensions that could lead the entire Formula 1 behind light, as well as the Krone .
