You should be used to it by now. Same as Hamilton did not get the penalty on first lap Abu Dhabi 2021. Even the British commentators said he have to give the place back. But nothing.

After seemingly hitting rock bottom morale-wise in qualifying for the 2025 Bahrain Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton rebounded by guiding his Ferrari to fifth place from ninth on the grid, while team-mate Charles Leclerc was fourth after starting second.

For Hamilton this was arguably the best result possible without retirements ahead.
Afterwards the seven-time world champion was the most upbeat he has been since winning the sprint race in China, suggesting he had made a breakthrough in understanding the car and how he needs to adapt to get the best out of it.

“What’s clear is that, as humans, we really get stuck in our ways,” he told to Sky Sports F1. “And I feel like I’ve been driving a car with the same team for such a long time… and I’ve moved to a new car and it requires such different driving style and settings.

“I’ve been using engine braking, which I’ve never used in my previous years. Much different brakes – we’re on Brembos, I’ve been on CIs [Carbone Industrie] for the past 15 years or so.

“The car requires a much different driving style. So I’m adjusting to that and I think I’m slowly getting it into my head, and getting the balance right.

“What Charles does is he starts with a set-up and he stays with it pretty much all weekend, and last week and this weekend I was a long way away from him, then just before qualifying I got close to him but then the settings were all off. I’ve got to do a better job through the weekend and I will.

Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari

The choice of brake manufacturer might seem like an abstruse point but, at the point of interface with the driver, the braking process is a combination of muscle memory and feel. The driver becomes accustomed not just to the bite point of the brakes, but the strength of the initial bite and the progression of the braking effort, through to the sensations transmitted through the pedal that the lock-up point is imminent.

In Bahrain both Ferraris ran a different strategy to the majority of the field, starting on medium-compound tyres while rest of the top 10 started on used softs.

While Leclerc lost two positions at the start – to George Russell and Lando Norris – Hamilton held on to ninth and soon passed Carlos Sainz’s Williams for eighth. Although the second Red Bull of Yuki Tsunoda undercut Hamilton at the first stops, Lewis made his way by within two laps and nailed Tsunoda's team-mate Max Verstappen three laps after that.

Andrea Kimi Antonelli and Pierre Gasly, who also started ahead of Hamilton, lost out by pitting shortly before the safety car was deployed on lap 32. Lewis even had a brief dice with Norris after the restart before the McLaren slipped away. Thanks to Verstappen’s woes Hamilton faced no serious threat from behind so was able to absorb more lessons in how the Ferrari needs to be driven.

But the priority now is to find a way to nail those crucial laps in qualifying, since car convergence means small time losses can add up to a large disparity in grid positions.

LOL British media.
Hamilton did nothing, only way he made up places was because of Ferrari pit strategy and safety car.

Look how bias these guys are.

LOL Leclerc started amongst the fast cars with mediums against softs. Hamilton started with a fast car around the slow cars.

Look I must give them/him credit. The excuses now went to a different brake brand. This is real entertainment Next race it will be the different paint on the car and the race after that the pasta.

Take some evening primrose oil and you will be okay.

If you remove your emotions and hatred for a second, you will see that what is said is just factual. LeClerc did lose two positions and Hamilton did overtake Sainz.

Must be hard hating someone so much for being better than you that you get a raging hateboner every time you think of them.
 
Kym rocking a Ford Raptor because petrol is only R10 a litre in Bahrain

LOL the article is about Hamilton and his sudden improvement. Why did they bring Leclerc into the picture? To make him look bad or Hamilton look better than his teammate.
So I just gave the real facts.

Nah, you gave your opinion which is distinctly different to a fact because a fact is observable and provable and your opinion straight trash, fueled by hatred and generally wrong in all the ways that something can be wrong. The only time it is right is when you attempt to be facetious and say something you don't mean.
