Hamilton’s awkward Ferrari admission points to bleak F1 future
An awkward exchange between F1 legend Lewis Hamilton and a journalist at the Canadian Grand Prix has fueled speculation of a rift between him and Ferrari. Hamilton had expressed uncertainty about potential upgrades to his SF-25 car, hinting Ferrari may be focusing more on 2026 than 2025. Team principal Fred Vasseur clarified that upgrades are in the works and could enhance Ferrari’s competitiveness in 2025. Despite Hamilton qualifying fifth in Montreal without upgrades, his race performance did not significantly improve, with him finishing sixth due to damage caused by hitting a groundhog. Currently sixth in the drivers’ championship, 25 points behind teammate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton is eager for upgrades to close the gap at the front.
