The pressure at Scuderia Ferrari has reached boiling point after Lewis Hamilton dropped a huge bombshell in the wake of a disastrous performance at the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola. The seven-time world champion, who joined Ferrari this season in a blockbuster move from Mercedes, did not hold back in his post-race comments — sparking fresh concerns about the state of the team and its direction.

Another Weekend to Forget

Hamilton finished a disappointing P13, while teammate Charles Leclerc barely salvaged a point with a P10 finish. The Imola weekend marked yet another setback for the Scuderia, plagued by poor strategy calls, underwhelming pace, and continued car reliability concerns.

But what truly stunned fans and pundits alike was Hamilton’s blunt assessment after the race. When asked about Ferrari’s current form and whether he still had confidence in the team, Hamilton responded:

“I wasn’t promised wins right away, but I was promised progress. Right now, I don’t see it. Something has to change, and fast.”

The Bombshell: Hamilton Demands Structural Changes

In what is being interpreted as a direct call for internal restructuring, Hamilton went further:

“There are too many voices, too many directions. We need a unified vision, and honestly, I think we need to re-evaluate who’s making the key decisions. Without real change, we’re going to keep getting the same results.”

His statement is being seen as a veiled criticism of Ferrari’s senior leadership and technical management, fueling rumors that Hamilton is pushing for sweeping internal reforms — or could even consider an early exit if the project fails to show signs of improvement.

Ferrari Responds: “We Are Listening”

Ferrari Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur issued a brief response, stating:

“We hear Lewis, and we understand his frustration. No one is satisfied with our current performance. There will be internal discussions and, if needed, changes to ensure we are on the right path.”

Despite the diplomatic tone, it’s clear that Hamilton’s comments have created waves behind the scenes in Maranello.

F1 Community Reacts

Former world champion and Sky Sports pundit Damon Hill said:

“That was a bombshell from Lewis. He’s clearly not happy — and he’s right. Ferrari brought him in to lead a new era, but the car and the team aren’t delivering.”

Fans across social media are rallying behind Hamilton, trending hashtags like #FixFerrari and #SupportLewis, urging the Italian team to give their star driver the tools he needs to succeed.

What’s Next for Ferrari and Hamilton?

With Monaco just around the corner, all eyes will be on how Ferrari responds — both on and off the track. Will Hamilton’s blunt honesty spark the changes needed to turn the season around, or are tensions only beginning to boil?

One thing is certain: Hamilton didn’t come to Ferrari to finish outside the points — and now, the pressure is on.
