Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari seek Miami GP breakthroughs after challenging start to 2025 F1 season

29 April 2025, 06:11 | Updated: 30 April 2025, 07:05

Miami hosts the second Sprint event of the Formula 1 season this weekend, six weeks after the first of the year in China had seemingly provided early lift-off for both Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari career and the Italian team's season.

It may not have been a full Grand Prix, but the seven-time champion's pole and impressive win in the 19-lap race at the Shanghai International Circuit appeared significant at the time, given it came at the start of just his second race weekend with the team and after what had been a tricky debut in Australia.

Ferrari have not hit the same heights in the five full-length races this season, with Hamilton's struggles in the SF-25 particularly pronounced, although Charles Leclerc's run to their first Grand Prix podium of the year last time out in Saudi Arabia did offer more promise.
