Lewis Hamilton heading for Ferrari crisis as team boss quits

Lewis Hamilton’s dream F1 marriage with Ferrariappears to be heading for a potential crisis already, according to reports from Italy.

It was seen as a match made in motorsport heaven when the seven-time world champion announced early last year that he would be leaving Mercedes for Maranello.

The most marketable brand in the sport aligning with its most marketable driver, what could possibly go wrong? Plenty, it seems.

Six races into the 2025 season and already there are ‘deep cracks’ showing as that dream marriage heads for a ‘potential crisis’. Not our words but those of hugely respected Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport.

Tea but no sympathy for Hamilton and Ferrari

The latest misery for Hamilton and the tifosi played out in front of a worldwide TV audience on Sunday night as the British star struggled to hide his fury and annoyance at the team’s strategy during the Miami Grand Prix.

The report says Hamilton’s move to Ferrari created ‘a sensational transfer, a couple to dream about’. Instead, just six races in, it says there are already ‘deep cracks’ showing.

It speaks of Hamilton’s frustration boiling over with those radio messages, adding: “Those tense communications do not only represent a moment of nervousness, but could be the symptom of a deeper malaise within the team.

“Perhaps the episode could have been avoided if previously the pit wall had promptly ordered Leclerc to let Hamilton pass when he still had fresh medium tyres, instead of waiting three laps too long.

“Instead, the delay led to an unsuccessful exchange of positions and a subsequent “backtracking” that made both drivers nervous.

“And all this for nothing, given that the two were fighting for seventh and eighth position.”
