Hamilton ‘finally’ feeling on top of his Ferrari after US GP

Lewis Hamilton has expressed significant relief after a breakthrough performance at the United States Grand Prix, feeling he's finally "on top of the car" with Ferrari. Achieving a pair of strong fourth-place finishes in both the Sprint and Grand Prix marked a crucial upturn in results for the seven-time champion. While he couldn't secure a podium, Hamilton highlighted positive strides, noting the team's solid points haul – a third and fourth place finish – helped close the gap to Mercedes in the Constructors' Championship. Despite admitting areas for personal improvement in qualifying and race start, Hamilton views the weekend as a strong foundation for future races, demonstrating Ferrari's current competitiveness without recent upgrades.
