Former Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo has launched a scathing attack on the struggling F1 team, accusing them of a lack of leadership amidst their disappointing start to the 2025 season. With only one top-three finish so far, the Maranello outfit is facing a crisis as they try to find their footing in the competitive world of Formula 1.
Despite a glimmer of hope with Lewis Hamilton’s victory at the Chinese sprint, the team has been unable to maintain a consistent performance level. Montezemolo’s criticism of the team’s leadership issues has raised eyebrows and sparked discussions within the F1 community.
On a positive note, Charles Leclerc’s strong qualifying performance in Bahrain provided a brief respite for Ferrari fans. However, Montezemolo’s comments suggest that there are underlying issues within the team that need to be addressed for them to regain their competitive edge.
The introduction of an upgrade package to the SF-25 in Bahrain brought some optimism to the team, with both drivers expressing confidence in the new additions. Leclerc’s surprise third-place qualifying finish highlighted the potential of the upgrades, giving hope to Ferrari as they look to turn their season around.
As the pressure mounts on Ferrari to deliver results, all eyes will be on the team to see if they can overcome their challenges and rise to the occasion. With Montezemolo’s criticism ringing in their ears, Ferrari will need to show resilience and determination to prove their doubters wrong and reclaim their status as a powerhouse in Formula 1.
