Lewis Hamilton Demands Ferrari Action, Heads Could Roll
Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton has reportedly urged Ferrari’s senior management to address internal processes and improve coordination within the team, as the Italian outfit continues to endure a disappointing 2025 campaign.
According to Corriere della Sera , Hamilton has personally submitted a report to Ferrari’s top executives, outlining concerns about inefficiencies and suggesting changes to the team’s operational methods.
The move highlights the British driver’s growing frustration as both he and team-mate Charles Leclerc struggle to deliver consistent results in Ferrari’s SF-25 car.
Ferrari Falter Despite Early Promise
Hamilton’s debut season with Ferrari has not gone according to plan.

The 39-year-old sits sixth in the drivers’ championship, trailing his team-mate by 48 points.
While Leclerc has also faced difficulties, neither driver has managed to secure a race victory this year, as McLaren, Mercedes, and Red Bull continue to dominate the podium positions.
Ferrari currently hold third place in the constructors’ standings, though their lead over fourth-placed Red Bull has shrunk to just eight points.
Max Verstappen has largely carried the fight for Red Bull alone, further emphasizing Ferrari’s struggles to compete on equal terms.
Hamilton’s Internal Report Highlights Operational Weaknesses
Italian media reports suggest Hamilton has raised concerns about Ferrari’s structure and communication between departments.
His document to the “top brass” is said to focus on what he views as shortcomings in the coordination between Maranello’s factory operations and the trackside team.
The Corriere della Sera report also notes that several key departures from Ferrari’s race operations staff have disrupted workflow and reduced cohesion within the team.
As a result, Ferrari often look competitive in free practice sessions but struggle to convert that form into strong race performances.
It is believed that misalignment in setup decisions between Maranello and the race engineers has contributed to the team’s weekend drop-offs.
Hamilton Focused on Building for the Future
Despite the mounting pressure, Hamilton appears determined to help Ferrari rebuild.
The Briton’s immediate goal will be to secure his first podium for the Scuderia, a milestone that could strengthen his bond with the famously passionate Tifosi.
While his chances of finishing ahead of Leclerc this season seem slim, Hamilton remains focused on using the remaining races to regain confidence and help the team establish a clearer development direction.
The upcoming 2026 regulation overhaul could mark a turning point.
Formula 1 will introduce new car and power unit regulations next year, giving teams an opportunity to reset and potentially close the competitive gap to Red Bull.
If Ferrari can successfully adapt to the new rules, it could hand Hamilton a much-needed fresh start in his pursuit of an eighth world championship.
Aiming for Redemption in 2026
The 2026 season may also suit Hamilton better from a technical perspective.
Since the introduction of ground effect aerodynamics in 2022, he has struggled to adapt to the current generation of cars, managing only two race victories during this period.
Ferrari’s success under the new regulations will depend on whether they can build a more balanced and predictable car — something Hamilton has consistently demanded.
Even if another world title remains a distant goal, Hamilton’s drive to add to his record 105 grand prix wins continues to motivate him.
His willingness to push for systemic improvements shows his commitment to Ferrari’s long-term project, as he aims to restore the team to its former glory and end his illustrious career on a high note.
