The 2025 Formula 1 season is being a whirlwind for Ferrari, with the Italian team facing a crisis that questions its immediate future. According to recent reports, the team head, Frédéric Vasseur, is under intense pressure due to the disappointing performance of the team, while rumors about a possible movement of Charles Leclerc to Mercedes are gaining strength, shaking the foundations of Maranello.

Ferrari began the year with great expectations after Lewis Hamilton’s star signing, but the results have not lived up. Despite some Leclerc podiums, such as second place in Monaco and the third in Spain, the team has failed to compete consistently with McLaren, which has dominated the season. Leclerc expressed his frustration, noting that Ferrari needs to “find something exceptional” to close the gap with his rivals, a feeling shared by Vasseur, who admitted that the team is “far from being satisfied” with its current position. The lack of victories and the inability to take advantage of the potential of the SF-25 have generated internal and external criticism.

The pressure on Vasseur intensified after reports from Italian media, such as *Corriere della Sera *, which suggests that their position could be at risk. It is speculated that Antonello Coletta, leader of the Ferrari program at the WEC, could replace it if the results do not improve. This uncertainty is aggravated by tensions within the team, with Hamilton struggling to adapt and rumors of friction with his career engineer, Riccardo Adami. Although Vasseur has minimized these conflicts, the perception of instability persists.
Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc, considered Ferrari’s future, is at the center of speculation about his departure. Despite his contract until 2029, it is said that an exit clause could allow him to leave the team after 2026. Mercedes, led by Toto Wolff, a well -known Leclerc admirer, could be a tempting destination, especially with George Russell’s contract still without renewing. Leclerc has flatly denied these rumors, stating that “loves the team” and that his approach is to improve Ferrari’s performance, but doubts persist.
On the other hand, Hamilton faces his own challenges. Without victories or podiums in 2025, the seven -time world champion has described some races, such as Spain, such as a “disaster.” Despite this, Vasseur insists that the team is working on improvements, with a technical directive in the Spanish Grand Prix that could be a “change of play.” Leclerc also expressed hope that this change affects other teams, bringing Ferrari closer to the top.
With the Canada Grand Prix on the horizon, Ferrari faces a critical moment. Can Vasseur stabilize the team and keep Leclerc committed, or will we see an exodus that could change the F1 panorama? Time will say if Ferrari can recover or if this crisis will mark the end of an era.
