Hamilton: Judge me after 'a few years' with Ferrari

The seven-time world champion made the switch from Mercedes ahead of this term, and sits seventh in the drivers' championship following a mixed start to the campaign.

Despite winning the sprint at the Chinese Grand Prix, Hamilton was disqualified from the main race, while a fifth-place finish in Bahrain represents his best performance so far.

Hamilton is 12 points behind team-mate Charles Leclerc in fifth, and already 90 adrift of championship leader Oscar Piastri.

Meanwhile, Ferrari are 152 points behind McLaren in the constructors' championship ahead of Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix; the first in a triple-header of races over the next three weekends.

Although, Hamilton is adamant the three successive Grands Prix will not define his progress with his new team.

"I don't put it all on these three races," he said. "If we were to have three bad races, hopes would still remain alive. I don't believe that will be the case, but I'm just saying we don't pin it to one race.

"For me, I'm not judging our success by a short amount of racing, half a season, one season.

"Let's talk at the end of my career here at Ferrari, at the end of a few years here at Ferrari, then let's talk about what we've done. That's when we can look back and say whether or not we were successful.
