F1 FURY: Jenson Button SLAMS Ferrari President John Elkann’s Controversial Comments!
In a shocking turn of events following the São Paulo Grand Prix, the world of Formula 1 has been set ablaze by explosive remarks from Ferrari President John Elkann. His public critique of star drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc has ignited a firestorm of controversy, leaving fans and former champions alike reeling from his scathing assessment of the team’s performance.
Elkann did not hold back after the disastrous double retirement that saw Ferrari plunge to a disappointing fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship. In a bold statement, he declared that the drivers “must focus on driving and talk less,” insinuating that the pit crew and engineers have been performing admirably, while the drivers have failed to meet expectations. He further stirred the pot by suggesting that achieving second place in the championship “is not impossible,” calling for a united front within the team reminiscent of Ferrari’s glorious days in the World Endurance Championship.
The controversy escalated when Hamilton labeled his inaugural season with Ferrari as “a nightmare.” This candid admission, alongside Leclerc’s comments, has only intensified the brewing tensions within the team, prompting Elkann’s harsh words to be perceived as a stern reprimand aimed directly at his drivers.
Former world champion Jenson Button wasted no time in responding to Elkann’s remarks, taking to social media with a pointed critique: “Perhaps John should lead by example.” Button’s backlash resonated with fans who applauded his honesty and questioned the professionalism of Ferrari’s leadership. One particularly striking comment from a follower captured the sentiment perfectly: “Exactly this… what a lack of professionalism. It says a lot about the culture of that team.”
As the F1 community grapples with the fallout from Elkann’s controversial statements, it remains to be seen how this rift will impact Ferrari’s performance in the remaining races of the season. With tensions running high and the stakes even higher, all eyes will be on whether Elkann can mend the fractures within the team or if Button’s call for accountability will spur a much-needed change in the Scuderia’s approach.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow this gripping saga unfolding in the high-octane world of Formula 1!
