Ralf Schumacher has shared his thoughts on Lewis Hamilton’s challenging 2025 Formula 1 season, admitting he was left underwhelmed by the seven-time world champion’s overall performance.
According to Schumacher, Hamilton’s form across the campaign did not match the high standards he has set throughout his career, especially given his experience and reputation in the sport.
The former F1 driver suggested that even during difficult periods, Hamilton is usually able to extract standout results, something Schumacher felt was missing in 2025.
Schumacher acknowledged that external factors and team limitations may have played a role, but stressed that top drivers are still expected to make a noticeable difference.
As Hamilton looks ahead to the future, Schumacher believes the Briton will be eager to respond to the criticism and prove he can return to his best after a frustrating season.
