Elkann’s Hamilton jibe will destroy title chances
Just when you think Ferrari cannot get any more self-destructive, chairman John Elkann decides to open his mouth, speaking about the team’s struggles despite efforts of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
With Ferrari in a challenging F1 season, unity and focus should be paramount, but Elkann’s divisive comments to the media only exacerbate the team’s distress and future title prospects.
Acknowledging mechanics and engineers’ efforts positively while criticizing drivers publicly creates unnecessary tension and undermines team spirit.
Hamilton and Leclerc’s loyalty to Ferrari despite their frustrations with the car highlight Elkann’s misguided attempt to prioritize his own agenda over team success.
By openly criticizing the drivers, Elkann risks further discord within the team and endangers Ferrari’s chances of improving in the future.
