Lewis Hamilton Demand Issued by Ferrari Boss “You Have to Stop”
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has leapt to the defence of Lewis Hamilton, firmly demanding that critics and the media stop scrutinizing the seven-time world champion’s performance since his move to the Italian team. Vasseur’s strong words come after Hamilton secured his best finish of the season with a fourth-place result at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix a sign of potential progress after a challenging start to life in red.
Hamilton’s high-profile switch from Mercedes to Ferrari ahead of the 2025 Formula One season was one of the most talked-about moves in recent F1 history. Expectations were sky-high, with fans and pundits anticipating immediate results from one of the sport’s most decorated drivers. However, the transition has not been smooth. Hamilton has faced several underwhelming race weekends, sparking debate over whether he has adapted to Ferrari’s car and team dynamics.
But Vasseur has had enough of the speculation. In a press conference earlier this week, the Ferrari boss was direct when asked to evaluate Hamilton’s current form.
“You have to stop this,” Vasseur insisted. “It is not that he is doing a good weekend and everything is perfect, and when he is not having a good weekend, it is a disaster. We just have to take it easy, stay calm, and work together.”
The Frenchman emphasized the importance of consistency and unity, suggesting that knee-jerk reactions to each race only serve to undermine the team’s efforts. He pointed out that Formula One is a long and complex season, and that building a successful partnership between driver and team takes time — even for a veteran like Hamilton.
Despite not yet reaching the podium in a Ferrari car, Hamilton has shown flashes of brilliance. His performance at Imola, where he finished fourth, demonstrated improved pace and a stronger connection with the SF-25, giving fans a glimpse of what could come as the season unfolds.
Critics have questioned whether Hamilton, at 40 years old, still has what it takes to compete at the front of the grid. However, Vasseur has made it clear that the team remains fully behind their star driver. He praised Hamilton’s work ethic, experience, and influence behind the scenes — factors that he believes will ultimately lead to success.
“We knew this would be a journey,” Vasseur added. “We have full confidence in Lewis. The results will come.”
Hamilton himself has remained measured in his public responses, often noting that adaptation to a new environment and engineering team takes time. He has spoken positively about the culture at Ferrari and expressed confidence in the direction they are heading.
As the 2025 season continues, Ferrari will be hoping that Hamilton can continue building momentum and help the team close the gap to frontrunners like Red Bull and McLaren. While questions about his form may persist outside the paddock, inside Ferrari, the message is clear: patience, belief, and unity will be the keys to unlocking success.
