The Chinese Grand Prix ended in controversy as Ferrari’s star driver, Lewis Hamilton, was disqualified after a post-race inspection found irregularities in the car’s rear wing. The decision cost Hamilton a crucial points finish, further complicating Ferrari’s championship bid in an already challenging season.
The FIA’s technical team determined that Hamilton’s Ferrari violated aerodynamic regulations, leading to his disqualification despite a strong on-track performance. Ferrari, facing increased scrutiny, swiftly acknowledged the issue and promised immediate corrective actions. “We take full responsibility and are already working to ensure that such a situation doesn’t happen again,” said Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur.
The disqualification overshadowed a thrilling race, which saw Max Verstappen extend his championship lead with another dominant victory for Red Bull. McLaren’s Lando Norris also capitalized on the chaos to secure a well-deserved podium finish.
Hamilton’s setback comes at a critical juncture in the season, as Ferrari has been struggling with car reliability, race strategy, and pace compared to rivals Red Bull and Mercedes. Vasseur emphasized the need for Ferrari to learn from the incident and improve both its technical execution and compliance with FIA regulations.
With only a handful of races left, Ferrari faces mounting pressure to address its internal problems and get back in contention. For Hamilton, the disqualification is a tough blow, but he remains determined to fight on as Ferrari works to turn its fortunes around before the season ends.
