Ferrari F1 chief boldly defends Lewis Hamilton’s controversial interviews amid turbulent season

Ferrari’s F1 Chief Stands Firm in Defense of Lewis Hamilton Amidst Turbulent Season

As the curtain falls on a tumultuous 2025 Formula 1 season, all eyes are on Ferrari’s team principal, Fred Vasseur, who has boldly defended the embattled Lewis Hamilton. The seasoned champion, struggling in a new environment, has been vocal about the frustrations stemming from a lackluster Ferrari performance, leading to a series of downbeat interviews that have left fans and pundits alike speculating.

Hamilton’s candid remarks during the season have sparked widespread debate. In Hungary, he provocatively suggested, “The team has no problem. The car’s on pole, they probably need to change their driver,” indicating a deep-seated frustration with the team’s direction. The media has had a front-row seat to Hamilton’s struggles, with Sky Sports’ Rachel Brookes and veteran commentator Martin Brundle expressing their own trepidation at the prospect of interviewing the F1 icon amidst his evident dissatisfaction.

The dismal end to the season saw Hamilton exiting Q1 in three consecutive races, culminating in an emotional moment in Abu Dhabi where he conveyed to his team over the radio, “Every time, mate. I’m so sorry.” These reflections highlight the struggles Hamilton faces as he tries to adapt to the challenges of driving for Ferrari, a team with a rich history yet currently struggling to reclaim its glory.

In a spirited defense, Vasseur has countered the narrative that Hamilton’s interviews reflect a negative attitude. “I respect perfectly the position of the drivers when they have this attitude,” he stated, emphasizing that Hamilton’s behind-the-scenes demeanor has been markedly different. Vasseur praised Hamilton for his commitment to collaboration and problem-solving, asserting, “It’s much better to have someone not speaking in the TV pen and coming back to the debriefing, speaking with the engineers, trying to find solutions, and it’s the attitude that Lewis had even when he had a tough moment in the last part of the season. This is putting a positive energy into the team.”

Vasseur’s comments shed light on the often-overlooked dynamics of F1. He acknowledged that, like many in high-pressure situations, he too feels the weight of media scrutiny post-race, revealing a shared experience of navigating public and private personas. “When you are jumping on me and I’m going down to the pit-wall after a tough race and you have tons of questions, sometimes I don’t want to spend too much time to answer the questions,” Vasseur candidly admitted.

As the F1 world anticipates the next chapter for Hamilton and Ferrari, Vasseur’s defense highlights the complexities of a sport where public perception often clashes with the realities of teamwork and resilience. The future may hold uncertainties, but one thing is clear: Hamilton’s journey is far from over, and with the right support, he could very well rise from the ashes of this challenging season.
