Lewis Hamilton Drops 8 Warnings for the 2025 Season, Calls It a ‘Painful’ Year with ‘Unsolvable’ Problems at Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton has issued a stark and honest reflection on his debut season with Ferrari, warning fans that 2025 could be a “painful” year filled with “unsolvable” issues. The seven-time world champion’s move from Mercedes to Ferrari was one of the biggest stories in Formula 1, but the transition hasn’t gone as smoothly as hoped.
In a recent interview, Hamilton dropped eight key warnings, painting a bleak picture of Ferrari’s current state. Among them, he cited lack of pace, communication gaps, strategic misfires, unpredictable tire management, and inconsistent car development. He emphasized that the team’s internal struggles and lack of synergy are holding them back from challenging the front-runners like Red Bull and McLaren.
Hamilton admitted that joining Ferrari was always going to be a challenge, but he didn’t expect it to be this tough. “Some of the problems here feel unsolvable right now,” he said. “It’s been a painful start—there’s a lot of potential, but we’re not executing.”
He also warned fans to manage expectations, stating, “This is not going to be a turnaround in one season. There’s a long road ahead.”
Despite the harsh words, Hamilton reaffirmed his commitment to the team, expressing faith in the long-term vision. “I came here to help build something special. It’s going to take time, but I believe in Ferrari.”
The comments have sent shockwaves through the F1 world, signaling that even the most experienced drivers can’t instantly transform a struggling team. With the 2025 season underway, fans will be watching closely to see if Hamilton and Ferrari can overcome these early setbacks—or if the pain will continue.
