Hamilton ‘exaggerating’ Ferrari problems
Ferrari F1 team principal Fred Vasseur believes Lewis Hamilton tends to ‘exaggerate’ his issues, as Hamilton has had a challenging first season with Ferrari after moving from Mercedes. Despite struggling with consistency in 2025, Hamilton openly expresses his disappointment with himself and the team. Vasseur, in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport, maintains that the problems may not be as severe as Hamilton portrays them. He mentions that small issues like the braking system can lead to minor time losses, which in Formula 1 can make a significant impact on the weekend’s outcome. Despite Vasseur’s reassurance, Hamilton is yet to secure a podium for Ferrari this season and has faced criticism for his performance. As the F1 season progresses, attention shifts to Hamilton’s performance at the upcoming Dutch GP at Zandvoort.
