Carlos Sainz has spoken out on Lewis Hamilton's struggles at Ferrari.
Hamilton joined Ferrari from the 2025 season, while Sainz signed for Williams.
Currently, the seven time world champion only has a win in sprint at the Chinese Grand Prix.
“No, I’m not surprised at all," said Sainz.
“I think for me I expected it to myself and I expected it with him. Because in this sport there’s no secrets and when you are up against two teammates like we are, like Alex and Charles, that they know the team inside out, they are already performing at the maximum that their car can perform.”
“So you can only do just a little bit better or the same as them. You cannot suddenly arrive and be two or three tenths quicker because it’s not possible.”
“They are already at the limit of the car. So when you jump to a new team and you’re expected by yourself and by everyone around you to be at that level, it’s going to take time.”
