Lewis Hamilton pinpoints ‘aggressive’ change which could unlock Ferrari potential

Lewis Hamilton believes increasing his aggressiveness and
confidence on the brakes could help unlock pace in his Ferrari. One
of Hamilton's major adaptations in 2025 has been to the use of
Brembo brake materials at Ferrari, with former team Mercedes using
Carbon Industries during his 12 years with the team.  Hamilton has
struggled with the balance of the SF-25 throughout the year, but
believes that building up his confidence under braking could help
find more performance. "I think there are some improvements to be
made in terms of how aggressive I can be," he told media, including
RacingNews365.  "The car has been quite snappy, so I'm still not
100% confident on the brakes when I'm attacking on the brakes. "[At
Monza] I was, but [in Azerbaijan], it didn't feel better with the
set-up we had, but it is progressing." Hamilton also tipped Red
Bull to become more of a resurgent threat in the race to finish
second in the constructors', with Mercedes in second, leading
Ferrari by four points and Red Bull by 18 heading to the Singapore
Grand Prix.  "McLaren has been ahead all year, and we haven't made
any steps or improvements, so we are a good couple of steps
behind," Hamilton added. "Red Bull took an upgraded floor [in
Italy], and they've now picked up their pace, so I expect they're
probably going to win a few races."
