Ralf Schumacher Slams Lewis Hamilton With Harsh German Slang After Ferrari Meltdown
Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has launched a scathing verbal attack on Lewis Hamilton following the British driver’s fiery outburst during the latest Ferrari drama. After a frustrating weekend that saw Hamilton underperform and clash with Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur, Schumacher didn’t hold back—dishing out criticism laced with biting German slang.
Hamilton, who is set to join Ferrari in 2025, reportedly exploded in frustration after a dismal race strategy and lackluster pace left him trailing behind. His confrontation with Vasseur, marked by visible tension and a few choice words, raised eyebrows throughout the paddock. “If this is what I signed up for, then maybe I need to rethink things,” Hamilton was overheard saying—fueling speculation about early regrets.
Ralf Schumacher, never shy to voice his opinions, responded with brutal candor on German television. “Hamilton benimmt sich wie eine beleidigte Leberwurst,” he said—a stinging phrase that translates to “Hamilton is acting like a sulking sausage,” a German idiom used to describe someone being overly sensitive and self-centered. Schumacher added, “Er muss den Arsch in der Hose haben,” urging Hamilton to “have some guts” and take responsibility rather than lashing out.
“Ferrari isn’t Mercedes. It’s emotional, it’s Italian, and if Lewis wants to survive there, he has to adapt, not throw tantrums,” Schumacher concluded.
The remarks have stirred a frenzy among F1 fans, with many debating whether Hamilton’s move to Ferrari might be more volatile than expected. While the seven-time world champion has faced adversity before, this latest drama—paired with stinging criticism from an ex-driver like Schumacher—adds pressure ahead of a highly anticipated switch to the Scuderia. One thing is clear: tensions are rising fast, and the 2025 season hasn’t even begun.
