Lewis Hamilton Faces Uncertainty at Ferrari After Team B…read more.
Ferrari’s Formula 1 project has been thrown into uncertainty following the unexpected resignation of team principal Frédéric Vasseur, raising concerns for star driver Lewis Hamilton, who recently made the high-profile switch from Mercedes.
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, joined Ferrari at the start of the 2025 season in hopes of reviving the Scuderia’s championship ambitions and ending his own title drought. However, the departure of Vasseur — a key figure in luring Hamilton to Maranello — has sent shockwaves through the F1 paddock and raised questions about the stability of Ferrari’s leadership.
Sources close to the team suggest Vasseur’s resignation stems from internal disagreements over the team’s strategic direction and performance struggles early in the season. Ferrari has endured a rocky start in 2025, with inconsistent race results and reliability issues putting pressure on the management.
For Hamilton, the timing couldn’t be worse. His move to Ferrari was seen as a bold attempt to cement his legacy by bringing glory back to F1’s most historic team. Now, with the leadership vacuum, he faces a potentially chaotic environment at a time when unity and stability are crucial.
Ferrari has yet to name a replacement, though rumors suggest internal candidates and even former F1 figures are being considered. The coming weeks will be critical, both for the team’s future direction and Hamilton’s hopes of contending for an eighth world title under the iconic red banner.
