Rosberg Says Reduced Sponsor Days Helped Drive Hamilton’s Switch to Ferrari

Hamilton says he left Mercedes to escape complacency.

Overview

  • On The F1 Show Podcast, Rosberg said Ferrari’s lighter sponsor-day load was “one of the reasons” Hamilton chose the team.
  • Rosberg contrasted reported demands of up to roughly 60 sponsor days at some teams with about 10 at Ferrari in Sebastian Vettel’s era.
  • Hamilton remains without a Ferrari grand prix podium and describes the SF-25 as “alien” as he works to adapt.
  • The seven-time champion trails teammate Charles Leclerc by 46 points in the standings.
  • Martin Brundle noted Hamilton looked “happier” and more comfortable after finishing sixth at Monza, which Rosberg called an important weekend.
