Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has firmly backed Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc amid a challenging 2025 Formula 1 season. Despite Ferrari slipping to third in the Constructors’ Championship—trailing McLaren by 56 points—Vasseur remains confident in his drivers. “I trust completely,” he said, emphasizing his belief in their abilities and dedication. The season has seen setbacks, notably in China, where both drivers were disqualified despite Hamilton winning the Sprint and Leclerc finishing strong.

Vasseur dismissed growing concerns, highlighting the experience Hamilton brings and Leclerc’s long-standing commitment to the team. However, fan sentiment is mixed. While some on social media commend Vasseur’s unwavering support, others demand urgent upgrades to the car to compete with front-runners Red Bull and McLaren.
As Hamilton prepares for his full-time Ferrari debut in 2026 and Leclerc seeks redemption, the pressure mounts on the Scuderia to perform. The upcoming races, starting at Imola, are seen as crucial turning points. For Ferrari’s passionate fanbase, the Tifosi, the hope remains that Vasseur’s faith and the drivers’ resilience will spark a resurgence and bring the team back to championship contention.
