Johnny Herbert’s advice to Ferrari in case Lewis Hamilton calls it quits.
Johnny Herbert, a former Formula 1 driver, suggests that Ferrari should consider re-hiring Carlos Sainz if the team parts ways with Lewis Hamilton after this season.
Hamilton has faced struggles at Ferrari, notably during the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he qualified 12th while his teammate, Charles Leclerc, secured pole position.
Hamilton’s comments about feeling “useless” and the need for Ferrari to consider another driver have raised speculation about his future with the team.
If Hamilton’s form does not improve in the second half of the season, there is growing speculation that Ferrari might seek a replacement, with Herbert proposing Carlos Sainz as a potential candidate.
Sainz, who previously won four races for Ferrari, was dropped in favor of Hamilton this year but has shown strong performance with Williams.
Hamilton’s self-criticism and frustration with his current performance at Ferrari indicate a difficult first half of the season for the seven-time world champion, prompting speculation about his future with the team.
