Former Formula 1 driver and Sky Sports analyst Martin Brundle believes that seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton is still capable of winning with Ferrari.
Hamilton joined the Maranello outfit in 2025 and took some time to adjust to his new team in the final year of the regulations. While Ferrari finished fourth in the 2025 constructors' standings, it has got off to a much stronger start in 2026.
It currently sits second in the 2026 constructors' championship with Hamilton and his team-mate Charles Leclerc sitting fourth and third in the drivers' standings, respectively.
Questions had been raised over Hamilton's performance struggles in 2025, but Brundle has pointed to the new regulations suiting the Briton's driving style much more than the previous ground effect era.
"Lewis clearly enjoys these cars much more," Brundle told Sky Sports F1. "Ferrari is more competitive, and I think will make a big step for Miami. Lewis obviously prefers this type of car to the seasons we had with the ground effect cars that were smashing against the ground and quite brutal things.
"It didn't seem to suit his style. But his mood and just the way he's going about it, he just seems a lot happier because Ferrari is more competitive.
"He's got to beat Charles Leclerc if he's going to win the world championship in the other Ferrari, and others.
"Let's see if he can sustain that. If there's a sniff of a victory, I think Lewis is still very much capable of taking that."

Heading into the fourth round of the season, the Miami Grand Prix, Mercedes driver Kimi Antonelli leads the standings with nine points over his team-mate George Russell in second. While Mercedes has dominated the opening three rounds, Brundle claimed that the championship is still "wide open".
"I think it's totally wide open," he said. "We have got a sprint weekend in Miami, so there are sprint points to be won, Grand Prix points to be won.
"This is going to ebb and flow. I see teams leapfrogging others with some upgrades because there is so much upside potential with these cars. Anybody I would say in the top four teams, any of those eight drivers, could win this year's world championship."
