‘Game over’ for Hamilton? Ex-Ferrari boss delivers startling Vettel prophecy
Former Ferrari F1 team principal Maurizio Arrivabene has cautioned Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, about making too many changes within the team. Hamilton struggled in his initial season at Ferrari, finishing sixth in the drivers’ championship without a single Grand Prix podium. Despite his lackluster performance on the track in 2025, Hamilton has been vocal about the changes needed for the team to return to its winning ways. Arrivabene, who led Ferrari from 2015 to 2018, pointed out that Sebastian Vettel previously attempted to introduce changes during his tenure but was unsuccessful. Vettel’s attempts to improve Ferrari’s performance did not yield positive results, with Arrivabene suggesting that when a driver ventures beyond driving and into engineering aspects, it could spell trouble for the team’s success.
