Ferrari Faces Disastrous Season as Hamilton Delivers Stark Warning: “We Have So Many Notes to Improve!”
As the Formula 1 season hurtles toward its final destination with just one race remaining, Ferrari finds itself on the brink of a catastrophic season. The legendary team is on track to conclude the year without a single victory, an outcome that would send shockwaves through the motorsport community. Recent performances have left both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc seething with frustration, as the Scuderia managed to scrape together a meager 20 points from the last three events. This dismal tally guarantees Ferrari a disheartening fourth-place finish in the Constructors’ standings, a position that no team with their storied history would accept lightly.
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has not been immune to the struggles plaguing Ferrari. His misery reached new heights during the chaotic weekend in Las Vegas, where he shockingly qualified dead last. Adding to his woes, Hamilton faced a double Q1 elimination in both the Qatar Sprint and Grand Prix, culminating in a pitiful twelfth-place finish. After the race, Hamilton did not mince words when assessing the dire situation for both himself and Ferrari, stating, “It definitely has been the most challenging year both in and out of the car.”
The British driver emphasized the plethora of improvements that need to be made, saying, “I’ve got so many notes in terms of things we need to improve on.” He expressed cautious optimism about the future, asserting, “There’s literally no reason why we couldn’t fix those if we just put those into action. I’m hopeful for us making progress.”
Hamilton’s struggles were palpable as he reflected on the stark contrast between Ferrari’s performance and that of their rivals. He lamented, “I was nearly getting overtaken by the Stake car and I couldn’t keep up with the Williams. And the Williams came third. So, I mean, they’ve done a great job.” This statement highlights the alarming gap in development between Ferrari and its competitors, a gap that team principal Fred Vasseur has acknowledged. Since April, Ferrari has been focused on the new regulations set to arrive in 2026, seemingly at the expense of their current season.
The urgency for change is palpable, as Hamilton prepares to head into the season finale in Abu Dhabi, where he currently sits in sixth place in the Drivers’ Championship. However, a fierce rookie, Kimi Antonelli, looms just two points behind him, eager to capitalize on any misstep.
As the F1 world looks on, the question remains: will Ferrari heed Hamilton’s warnings and take decisive action to revitalize their team? With the stakes this high, fans and analysts alike are left wondering if this beleaguered giant can rise from the ashes or if they are destined for another year of mediocrity. The clock is ticking, and the pressure is mounting—Ferrari must act swiftly if they hope to reclaim their former glory!
