The signs of promise beneath Hamilton's tough weekend

Lewis Hamilton's Belgian Grand Prix weekend was largely one to forget, despite Ferrari's recent upgrades. The seven-time World Champion faced significant challenges, including spinning out in Sprint Qualifying and a Q1 exit in Grand Prix Qualifying due to track limits, forcing a pit lane start. This strategic decision, however, allowed Ferrari to fit a high-downforce rear wing in anticipation of rain, a move that hinted at underlying potential and adaptability. While the results didn't show it, the team's proactive approach suggested glimpses of a better future, showcasing their ability to react to difficult situations.
