Ferrari chairman John Elkann recently told his drivers to “talk less” after a disappointing 2025 season.
Juan Pablo Montoya has identified the “biggest problem” at Ferrari as internal politics, following controversial comments from chairman John Elkann, urging drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc to “talk less” after a disappointing season for the Scuderia.
Although Ferrari almost clinched the constructors’ crown in 2024, they are yet to secure a grand prix win this season with three races remaining, and Hamilton has not reached the podium for his new team.
Montoya believes Elkann’s comments reflect internal pressure at Maranello and suggests that a change in approach is needed to address the team’s struggles.
Montoya criticized the SF-25’s performance, especially highlighting Hamilton’s car’s issues over bumps, and called for a new direction to improve Ferrari’s competitiveness in Formula 1.
