Lewis Hamilton Demands Fresh Start From Ferrari After Silverstone Struggles

News summary

Lewis Hamilton expressed significant dissatisfaction with the current Ferrari SF25 Formula One car after finishing fourth at the 2025 British Grand Prix, describing it as the most difficult car he has driven at Silverstone, especially due to high tire degradation and poor handling in wet conditions. Despite a strong race performance, Hamilton failed to secure a podium, ending an 11-race streak of top-three finishes at Silverstone and marking his longest podium drought of 14 races. Hamilton criticized the car's balance and stability, particularly in low-speed corners, and indicated he would work closely with Ferrari's design team to ensure that none of the problematic elements from the current car are carried over to the 2026 model, which will feature major regulation changes including smaller, lighter cars with hybrid power units. The British Grand Prix race was challenging, with rain affecting visibility and track conditions, causing Hamilton to lose time after switching to slick tires late in the race. Additionally, Hamilton revealed ongoing communication difficulties with Ferrari over race strategy, notably highlighting an incident at the Austrian Grand Prix where his pit stop strategy requests were ignored, though both he and the team agreed that improvements in communication were necessary. Overall, Hamilton is pushing for a fresh start in car development and better team collaboration to unlock improved performance next season.
