Former F1 Driver Drops Bombshell Lewis Hamilton Prediction Amid Ferrari Crisis
In a shocking turn of events, former F1 driver Jaime Alguersuari has made a daring prediction regarding Lewis Hamilton’s future at Ferrari amidst the team’s ongoing struggles. Hamilton’s debut with Ferrari has been nothing short of disappointing, with the British driver failing to deliver any significant results so far. Despite high expectations surrounding his move to the Italian team, Hamilton has only managed to secure a sprint win in the first five races of the season.
Alguersuari’s statement comes in the wake of Ralf Schumacher’s ultimatum on Hamilton’s future with Ferrari, highlighting the gravity of the situation. The seven-time champion currently holds a two-year deal with Maranello, but if the team fails to show immediate improvements, Hamilton might consider an early exit from the sport altogether. Compounding matters, Hamilton is consistently being outperformed by his teammate Charles Leclerc, adding fuel to the speculations of an impending departure.
Expressing his bold prediction, Alguersuari suggested that Hamilton could part ways with Ferrari sooner than anticipated, hinting at a turbulent future for the veteran driver. The Spaniard acknowledged the controversial nature of his claim, admitting to taking a significant risk in foreseeing Hamilton’s premature departure from the Scuderia.
Alguersuari didn’t hold back, stating that Hamilton’s glory days in Formula 1 might already be behind him, with nothing left to prove by winning with Ferrari. The prospect of Hamilton racing in 2026 to gauge Ferrari’s performance under new regulations looms, but his willingness to extend his contract beyond the current term remains uncertain.
Amid Ferrari’s historic legacy in F1, the team’s recent lack of championship success since 2008 has raised doubts about their winning capabilities. Alguersuari didn’t mince his words, emphasizing that Ferrari, despite their past victories, cannot be considered a winning team in the present scenario. The pressure is on Ferrari to deliver immediate results to persuade Hamilton to stay beyond the current season, as the team finds itself trailing significantly in the championship standings.
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Ferrari to see if they can turn the tide and meet the sky-high expectations placed upon them by fans and pundits alike. With the specter of an early exit looming over Hamilton and Ferrari’s quest for redemption, the upcoming races are sure to be rife with drama and uncertainty.
