Ferrari has endured a difficult F1 season, with Lewis Hamilton still awaiting his first podium finish with the Italian squad.
Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has proposed that Ferrari should consider replacing Lewis Hamilton with junior driver Oliver Bearman.
Hamilton, who switched to Ferrari from Mercedes this year, has struggled to achieve a podium finish and has faced criticism for his performance.
The Italian team’s season took a hit when chairman John Elkann urged the drivers to focus more on racing and less on speaking out.
According to Schumacher, Hamilton’s results do not match his high salary, especially compared to the promising Bearman’s cost-effective performance at Haas.
Bearman, a member of the Ferrari junior academy, has impressed with strong results, including a fourth-place finish in Mexico and a sixth-place finish in Brazil.
Schumacher speculates that Ferrari might be inclined to make a bold move by replacing Hamilton with Bearman to invest in the future success of the team.
