Lewis Hamilton’s team boss reacts to Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc’s desperate ‘now or never’ warning

Ferrari in Crisis: Hamilton’s Boss Responds to Leclerc’s ‘Now or Never’ Ultimatum!

In a stunning revelation from the world of Formula 1, the simmering tensions at Ferrari have reached a boiling point. The team’s principal, Fred Vasseur, has openly addressed a bold statement from star driver Charles Leclerc, declaring it’s “now or never” for the Scuderia as they brace for the tumultuous 2025 season.

Ferrari’s 2025 campaign has been anything but a fairy tale. The iconic team has struggled on the track, grappling with disappointing performances, and has been rocked by internal strife following critical remarks from chairman John Elkann, who took shots at both Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. What was meant to be a dream scenario for Hamilton has spiraled into a nightmare, marking his first season in 18 years without a podium finish—a shocking statistic that has sent shockwaves through the F1 community.

As the season draws to a close at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Leclerc took center stage with his ominous proclamation: “Next year will be a crucial year. Honestly, I think the whole team is hugely motivated for next year, because it’s such a big change, a huge opportunity to show what Ferrari is capable of. It’s now or never.” He emphasized the urgency of the situation, suggesting that the early races of the 2026 season will be pivotal in determining which teams will dominate in the years to come.

Vasseur, however, remains unfazed by Leclerc’s urgency. In a pointed response, he defended his driver’s commitment to the team, emphasizing the importance of a constructive mindset regardless of individual race outcomes. “Honestly, I think Charles, if you ever looked last year for sure, when you’re going to the TV pen, and you’re asking him after the session, are you happy with the session when it’s P2 or are you happy when it’s P6? It’s not the same Charles, for sure,” Vasseur explained. He reassured fans that Leclerc’s loyalty remains intact, stating, “But if you ask him the day after, ‘what do you want to do with the team?’, I think the approach is always the same. It’s always constructive, to try to do better.”

As Ferrari grapples with its identity and performance, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With Leclerc’s career hanging in the balance and Hamilton’s struggles casting a shadow over the team, the pressure is mounting. Will Ferrari rise from the ashes, or will they continue to falter under the weight of expectations? The upcoming season could very well determine the fate of this storied team and its star drivers.

One thing is for certain: the F1 world will be watching closely as Ferrari attempts to navigate this critical juncture. Buckle up; the next chapter in this high-speed saga is about to unfold!
