Lewis Hamilton has previously revealed his four biggest weaknesses amid his tough start to life as a Ferrari driver.

Hamilton, 40, left Mercedes to join Ferrari in one of the biggest transfers in Formula 1 history ahead of the 2025 season.

However, what was billed as a dream move turned into a nightmare as Hamilton has struggled to adapt to his new surroundings.

After having constant struggles with the problematic SF-25, the 40-year-old endured a horrid podiumless season.

In the end, Hamilton finished in sixth place, 86 points behind teammate Charles Leclerc.

During the last few races, Hamilton cut a dejected figure as he suffered three Q1 exits in a row in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which started to cast doubt over his future in the sport.

Speaking back in 2024, Hamilton revealed his four biggest weaknesses during an interview with GQ Sports.

He said: "I'm terrible at languages. I am terrible at tennis. Not very good at golf. Terrible at maths.

"There's plenty of stuff that I'm not good at, but whatever it is, I still give it a go. Even though I might not be the best at things, I still try. I keep trying and just never give up with it, even if you get frustrated."

During the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend, Hamilton's former Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg urged him to keep going.

He said: "You can’t retire now. I mean, who are they going to replace him with? And that’s a bit of a loss of face, also, because, taking on this big project and then 12 months in, just because it’s difficult, just retire. That doesn’t work."

In response to Rosberg's comments, Hamilton said: "I wouldn’t say anything to them. None of them have done what I’ve done.

"At the moment, I’m only looking forward to the break. And just to disconnect or not speak to anyone. No one will be able to get hold of me this winter."

He added: "I won’t have my phone with me. I’m looking forward to a complete unplug from the matrix. I’ve generally always had it [his phone] around, but this time, it’s going in the freaking bin."

The 2026 F1 season will begin in March with the Australian Grand Prix, held around Albert Park in Melbourne.
