Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton has reportedly refrained from utilizing the Ferrari Formula 1 simulator since the Canadian Grand Prix. The British driver stated that his decision stemmed from a perceived discrepancy between the data generated by the simulation and the actual performance observed when the car was on track. He indicated that this mismatch was not providing adequate preparation material for live driving conditions.
Since foregoing the simulator, Hamilton’s race results have shown a marked improvement. Following the Montreal event, the driver accumulated 96 points, placing him ahead of his competitors during the same period. This total surpasses the points scored by Kimi Antonelli, who accumulated 79 points, and George Russell, his Mercedes teammate, with 74 points.
Charles Leclerc recorded 49 points, despite securing a victory at the recent Silverstone race. Hamilton’s decision to rely more heavily on track experience rather than purely simulated data appears to have correlated with stronger on-track performances. The focus has shifted from advanced simulation testing to maximizing real-world feedback, leading to his current points tally and overall standing among the top drivers in the championship.
