‘Hamilton isn’t good enough’: Schumacher’s brutal reaction to Ferrari drama
“Former F1 driver turned pundit Ralf Schumacher has critiqued Lewis Hamilton, stating that the seven-time world champion ‘simply isn’t good enough.’
Hamilton’s disappointing first season at Ferrari, without a grand prix podium and in sixth place in the drivers’ championship, has raised concerns.
Ferrari’s pursuit of second in the constructors’ championship has been hindered by Hamilton’s underperformance compared to team-mate Charles Leclerc.
Sky Germany pundit Schumacher believes that Ferrari’s chairman John Elkann’s recent comments about Hamilton and Leclerc were unexpected for Leclerc but not for Hamilton.
Schumacher commended Leclerc for his performance and team contribution, suggesting that Hamilton needs to improve to meet expectations set by Ferrari higher-ups.
Looking ahead, the question remains if Hamilton can bounce back in 2026, with his contract with Ferrari running until the end of that season and the upcoming regulation changes in F1 potentially shifting the competitive landscape.”
