Ferrari ignoring Lewis Hamilton? F1’s hottest conspiracy theory confronted
An ex-driver recently addressed the biggest conspiracy theory in Formula 1, which claims that Ferrari intentionally prioritizes feedback from Charles Leclerc over Lewis Hamilton in car setups.
Despite the theory lacking evidence, it has been debated by figures like Ralf Schumacher, who suggested Ferrari may back Leclerc if Hamilton’s struggles persist.
However, former F1 driver Marc Surer doubts the validity of the theory, questioning what Ferrari would gain by harming themselves.
The recent F1 Hungarian Grand Prix saw Leclerc outshine Hamilton, who criticized his own performance and Ferrari’s handling of the car.
Hamilton’s struggles, including a mysterious spin in Belgium, highlight the need for him to adapt his driving style to match his car’s characteristics.
Both Hamilton and Leclerc face challenges with Ferrari’s SF-25 lacking pace compared to rivals like McLaren.
