Ferrari to Investigate Lewis Hamilton’s Performance After Spanish GP Setback

Ferrari is preparing to launch an internal investigation into Lewis Hamilton’s recent performance slump, following a disappointing sixth-place finish at the Spanish Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion ended the race well behind teammate Charles Leclerc, who secured a podium spot, raising concerns within the Maranello camp.

Hamilton’s ongoing struggle to adapt to the SF-25 has fallen short of expectations. Team Principal Frédéric Vasseur confirmed that the team is analyzing telemetry data and setup configurations to pinpoint the root of the issues. Hamilton himself described the race as one of his “worst” in terms of car balance.

Insiders report that the investigation will explore possible setup misjudgments, suspension irregularities, and the impact of recent technical upgrades that may have clashed with Hamilton’s driving style. There’s also speculation about a potential mechanical fault developing late in the race.

Despite these challenges, Vasseur emphasized there is no internal conflict between Hamilton and the team. However, limited communication during the race — attributed to safety car procedures — has reportedly heightened internal tension.

Hamilton’s season began with promise, including a sprint win in China, but has since been marred by inconsistent performances and technical issues, including a disqualification for excessive floor wear earlier in the year.

With pressure mounting, Ferrari is racing against time to find solutions and maintain momentum in the 2025 championship fight. The team maintains its commitment to both drivers, reaffirming that the current season remains the top priority.

As the Formula 1 season intensifies, all attention will be on whether this investigation leads to a Hamilton revival — or signals deeper problems ahead.
