It was another fiery and frustrating Formula 1 weekend for Lewis at the 2025 Brazilian Grand Prix. Still reeling from his penalty in Mexico, Lewis found himself once again clashing with the FIA stewards — and this time, the frustration boiled over. A Weekend To Forget For Lewis And Ferrari From the very start, the weekend in São Paulo had the makings of trouble for Lewis and Ferrari. Starting 13th on the grid, his race was compromised almost immediately. A rough opening lap saw him tangled up in the midfield, dropping to 17th after contact with Williams’ Carlos Sainz. It was a far cry from the competitive pace Lewis had been hoping for, and things only went downhill from there. As he fought to recover, Lewis went wheel-to-wheel with Alpine’s Franco Colapinto down the main straight. In the heat of battle, their cars made contact — a moment that would later define Lewis’s race. The light touch was enough to dislodge the front wing of his Ferrari, damaging the car’s floor and completely u...

Ferrari stand at a decisive moment in their Formula 1 journey, and at the heart of this challenge is Lewis Hamilton. The seven-time world champion, now racing in iconic red, has made it clear that Ferrari cannot afford to repeat the same mistake Mercedes made in ignoring his warnings. Lewis currently sits sixth in the drivers’ championship. For a driver of his caliber, this is far below expectations. If the season finishes this way, it would mark the third time in the last four years that Lewis has ended outside the top five—a shocking statistic when you remember that just a few years ago he was rewriting the history books. Ferrari fans have waited years for a title return, and in Lewis they have a proven winner who knows how to build championship-contending teams. But his advice must be heeded, otherwise Maranello risks drifting into the same trap that doomed Mercedes in the ground effect era. From Dominance To Frustration It is worth reflecting on how dramatically the landscape has c...

Ferrari came into the 2025 Formula 1 season with high hopes. After years of playing catch-up to Red Bull and Mercedes, the Maranello squad believed the SF-25 could finally close the gap and give Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton the chance to fight for wins consistently. But as we reach the summer break, Ferrari find themselves frustrated and searching for answers. Despite sitting second in the Constructors’ Championship, they remain the only top-four team without a single Grand Prix victory in 2025. It’s a statistic that speaks volumes about their season so far. Leclerc has delivered flashes of brilliance with five podium finishes, keeping Ferrari afloat in the standings. Yet even those results come with frustration. Pole position at the Hungarian Grand Prix should have led to a win, but Ferrari’s familiar issues with strategy and race pace saw Leclerc tumble down to fourth. His anger in the media pen afterwards told the full story of Ferrari’s struggles. For Lewis, the season ha...

The 2025 Miami Grand Prix delivered more than just sweltering heat and glitzy fanfare — it gave us a moment that sparked fierce debate in the Formula 1 world: Lewis voicing his frustration with Ferrari’s race strategy ( tea anyone ?). In a weekend where the Scuderia needed to demonstrate tactical finesse, they instead showcased indecision, leaving fans and pundits wondering if this marriage between Lewis and Ferrari is truly working. But let’s get one thing straight — his reaction wasn’t a diva moment, it was completely valid. Miami GP: A Strategy Misfire For those who missed the race, here’s a quick recap. During the Miami Grand Prix, Lewis found himself stuck behind teammate Charles Leclerc while on a different tyre strategy. Despite having the quicker compound and better pace at that phase of the race, Ferrari hesitated to make the call to let Lewis through. As a result, he lost precious time, compromised his tyres, and ultimately, his race. Lewis didn’t mince his words on team radi...

Lewis’s first few races at Ferrari haven’t exactly been storybook material. But before anyone hits the panic button, it’s important to look at the bigger picture. From adapting to a tricky car to fighting muscle memory built over years, Lewis is facing challenges few other drivers could even imagine. Here's why Lewis’s Ferrari journey is just getting started. Early Signs of Promise Lewis’s Ferrari adventure began with plenty of hope. A solid debut in Australia and a brilliant Sprint win in China had fans buzzing. He even outqualified Charles Leclerc for the main race in Shanghai. It looked like Lewis was getting on top of the Ferrari quicker than anyone expected. But race day told a different story. Despite a strong start, Lewis couldn’t match Leclerc’s pace, even after Charles picked up front wing damage. Lewis later admitted to a possible setup mistake — and suddenly the dream start looked like a false dawn. Struggles in Saudi and Japan Since China, things have gotten tougher. In...
