“I think there’s an internal fight with people saying Ferrari needs to listen to Lewis and ‘we need to change our ways.’”
Juan Pablo Montoya, an F1 legend, warns that Ferrari risks escalating tensions with Lewis Hamilton, suggesting they are not paying attention to the seven-time world champion’s feedback, leading to talk of an “internal fight” within the team. Hamilton has had a challenging debut season with Ferrari, failing to reach the podium in the first 14 races. Despite Hamilton showing improvement during the European leg by outqualifying Leclerc, the final races before the summer break damaged his confidence. Montoya believes Ferrari should listen to Hamilton’s suggestions for change, as Hamilton is putting in effort but not feeling heard by the team. Overall, it seems that Hamilton needs more support and attention from Ferrari to succeed and help turn the team into a title-contending force.
