Hamilton and Ferrari doomed by ‘six months of darkness’
Lewis Hamilton’s disappointing performance at Ferrari is being attributed to the departure of former technical director Enrico Cardile.
After joining Ferrari from Mercedes for the 2025 season, the seven-time world champion has struggled to achieve podium finishes in the first 11 races.
Cardile’s unexpected exit last season left a void in the team, affecting the development of the current car according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Despite taking responsibility for his difficulties, Hamilton faces an uphill battle at the British Grand Prix as he trails in the standings.
With hopes of an eighth title fading, Hamilton will aim to replicate his past success at Silverstone, where he delivered a memorable victory recently.
