Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton Dilemma: Have They Set Him Up for Failure?

In a season filled with high expectations, Lewis Hamilton’s tumultuous transition to Ferrari has sparked intense scrutiny and debate. The legendary seven-time world champion has faced an uphill battle that has left fans and analysts alike questioning if the iconic Italian team truly underestimated the complexities of his move from Mercedes.

Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has boldly admitted the harsh reality: “We underestimated the challenge for Lewis at the beginning of the season.” This frank acknowledgment comes in the wake of Hamilton’s dismal performance during the Hungarian Grand Prix, where he shockingly declared himself “useless” after qualifying in a disheartening 12th place. In a moment of vulnerability, he even suggested that the team should consider finding a replacement driver for him—an outcry that sent shockwaves through the racing community.

As the 2025 season unfolds, the contrast between Hamilton and his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc, could not be starker. While Leclerc has dazzled audiences with a string of impressive results, including a pole position and five podium finishes, Hamilton has yet to see the podium for the Scuderia. The weight of expectation on his shoulders has become almost unbearable, especially as he grapples with the intricacies of the SF-25 and the unique dynamics of Ferrari’s operation compared to the Mercedes powerhouse he dominated for nearly two decades.

Vasseur pointed out that Hamilton’s extensive tenure—20 years with Mercedes, split between McLaren and Mercedes—has made adapting to Ferrari’s environment a steep hill to climb. “It’s a completely new experience for him,” Vasseur emphasized, underscoring the monumental shift the 40-year-old driver is navigating.

However, there is a glimmer of hope as Vasseur noted that Hamilton has shown signs of improvement in the last four or five races. “I’m very, very pleased because he was back into the pace,” he remarked, hinting that the once-unrivaled champion is beginning to find his footing.

As fans eagerly await the next chapter in this gripping saga, questions loom large: Can Hamilton rise from the depths of his current struggles? Will Ferrari’s faith in him pay off, or has the team set him up for an impossible challenge? With the world watching, the pressure is on for both Hamilton and the Scuderia to turn the tide before it’s too late. This season could very well define not just Hamilton’s legacy, but the future of Ferrari in the ever-competitive world of Formula 1.
