Title: Jenson Button Fires Back at Ferrari’s Chairman: A Call for Unity After a Disastrous Brazilian GP

In a dramatic turn of events at the Brazilian Grand Prix, Jenson Button, the 2009 Formula 1 champion, has boldly stepped into the fray, responding to Ferrari chairman John Elkann’s stern message directed at the team’s drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. This weekend was nothing short of a nightmare for the iconic Italian team, which plummeted from second to fourth place in the constructors’ standings—a staggering blow that has sent shockwaves through the motorsport community.

Ferrari’s struggles were highlighted during the sprint race, where Leclerc and Hamilton managed to salvage some dignity, clawing their way from eighth and 11th place starts to finish in fifth and seventh, respectively. However, their efforts were overshadowed by a stellar performance from Mercedes, with young prodigy Andrea Kimi Antonelli and veteran George Russell snatching second and third places, effectively usurping Ferrari in the standings.

The grand prix itself was a complete disaster for Ferrari, as Leclerc, who had secured a promising P3 start, was forced to retire after a collision with Antonelli, triggered by a tangle with Oscar Piastri. Hamilton, starting from a woeful P13, also saw his race cut short due to damage sustained from earlier contact with Carlos Sainz and Franco Colapinto, resulting in a humiliating double DNF for the Scuderia. Meanwhile, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen showcased his unparalleled skill, racing from the pitlane to claim P3, further solidifying Ferrari’s fall from grace.

In the aftermath, Elkann expressed his frustration, declaring, “Brazil was a big disappointment. Looking at the Formula 1 championship, we can say that we have our mechanics, who are basically winning the championship with their performance and everything that has been done on the pitstops. Our engineers have undoubtedly improved the car. But when it comes to the rest, it is still not up to par.”

He continued with a pointed message aimed at the drivers: “We have drivers who need to focus on driving and talk less. We still have important races ahead of us, and it is not impossible to achieve second place [in the constructors]. This is the most important message, because Bahrain itself is the demonstration that, when everyone at Ferrari works together, we win.”

Button didn’t hold back in his rebuttal, suggesting that Elkann should exemplify the unity he preaches, stating, “Maybe John should lead by example.” This fiery response underscores the tension and desperation brewing within the walls of Maranello as they face an uphill battle in the final races of the season.

As the F1 world watches closely, one question looms large: Will Ferrari rally together and reclaim their former glory, or will internal strife continue to derail their ambitions? The clock is ticking, and the pressure is mounting.
