JAKARTA - Lewis Hamilton said on Thursday May 1, that it could take months to adapt to his new Ferrari. But he didn't pay any attention to comments that doubted his performance.

Seven-time Formula 1 world champion, 105 race winner, and title winner alongside McLaren and Mercedes, joined Ferrari earlier this year in a move that caught the public's attention.

However, although his arrival is expected to bring Ferrari to success, the reality on the track is not as expected. Although Hamilton won the sprint race in China in March, he has not managed to finish higher than fifth in five races he has undertaken, while his teammate, Charles Leclerc, won third place in Saudi Arabia last month.

"Life at Mercedes was also difficult in the first six months when I adapted to a new team," Hamilton told reporters at the Miami Grand Prix. "Of course, the engineers I worked with are now used to preparing cars for a racer with different driving styles, and I myself used to driving in different styles."

Hamilton continued, "So this is a combination of many things I have to adjust."

When asked if he expected a similar adjustment time to what he experienced at Mercedes, Hamilton replied, "I really don't know. We worked hard to shorten that time, but it could be longer. Who knows?"

Over time, Hamilton's future has become a topic of conversation among television commentators, including former racers. However, he responded casually.

"I don't really think about it. I try not to focus too much on the opinion of people who don't know what really happened the views of individuals who have never been in my position," Hamilton said. "So, I keep working hard and trying to keep enjoying my work with the team I have.
