[Saba Sports News] When Lewis Hamilton moved to Ferrari, there was a lot of discussion about whether he could adapt to the new environment. In response, young driver Isack Hadjar openly stated that Hamilton’s pain might come from the habits he built up over many years at Mercedes, which is the hardest obstacle for experienced veterans when changing teams. During an interview, Hadjar used his first full F1 season as an example, saying that he quickly adapted to the pace of F1, especially after finding his rhythm following the Bahrain test. He attributed this to his “no-habits” mindset, saying that every promotion is a fresh start, and constant adaptation has become routine. But Hamilton is different. Hadjar pointed out that drivers like Hamilton, who have spent a long time at the same team and are familiar with a specific car language and system, often find it more painful to change environments. Because once you have habits, that’s the hardest thing to change. Compared to that, he has no such burden.
