Lewis Hamilton has said his difficult start to his Ferrari career could last the entire season.
Hamilton joined Ferrari after 12 years at Mercedes, in what could be one of the most significant moves in Formula 1 history.
Despite Hamilton winning the sprint at the second round in China, he failed to finish in the top four in the main race.
The 40-year-old also trailed teammate Charles Leclerc in qualifying in all but one of the opening five races and finished every race behind the Monegasque.
Ahead of this weekend's Miami round, Hamilton said: “When I joined Mercedes in 2012, the first six months were tough, having to adapt to all the new people.
“The engineers I work with now are used to setting up the car for a different driver and a different driving style, whereas I was set up for a completely different approach. It's a combination of many factors.
“I've worked hard to adapt to this car, that's for sure. And I have no idea what to expect in Miami. We'll do our best.”
