Giancarlo Minardi claims Lewis Hamilton is unhappy with “things that were promised”
Ferrari has been accused of breaking promises made to Lewis Hamilton, who has faced various challenges since switching to Ferrari from Mercedes this season, notably at the F1 Hungarian Grand Prix, where he criticized his own performance and urged Ferrari to change their driver. Hamilton’s frustration with Ferrari’s unfulfilled promises was noted by Giancarlo Minardi, who also mentioned that Ferrari seems to focus more on Charles Leclerc’s direction currently. The idea of prioritizing Leclerc’s feedback for the SF-25 was initially suggested by Ralf Schumacher, highlighting the contrast in Leclerc’s performance compared to Hamilton’s struggles. Despite suggestions of retirement, Hamilton has been encouraged to continue racing, with Minardi emphasizing that Hamilton still has the potential to make a difference and challenging times at Ferrari will be a crucial topic to address before the end of the season. Hamilton will have the summer break to reflect before the F1 Dutch Grand Prix.
