Ferrari’s ‘complex’ F1 affair shows troubling future for Lewis Hamilton
Ferrari’s F1 future is viewed as “very complicated” as they navigate between being title contenders and a team requiring a rebuild. Lewis Hamilton’s joining Ferrari aimed to push the team towards their first constructors’ title since 2008 and a drivers’ title since Kimi Raikkonen’s win in 2007. Although Ferrari ended the previous season as strong performers, finishing close to McLaren, Hamilton’s time at the team has not produced podium finishes in 17 races, with McLaren poised to clinch the constructors’ title ahead of Ferrari. F1 commentator Carlo Vanzini has cautioned that Ferrari’s outlook appears bleak, urging a potential focus on next year’s car due to struggles in current performance compared to McLaren. The lack of a promising future for Ferrari spells concerns for Hamilton, whose F1 career at Ferrari faces challenges in light of his recent 40th birthday.
