The world of Formula 1 is in turmoil: Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari have come under the FIA’s spotlight ahead of the Japanese Grand Prix. After a season that began with ups and downs for the Maranello team, the news of the technical inspection of Hamilton and Charles Leclerc’s cars has sparked debate and speculation among fans and insiders. The announcement came like a bolt from the blue, just as the circus is preparing to land at Suzuka, one of the most iconic and challenging circuits on the calendar.

It all started after the Chinese Grand Prix, where the two Ferrari SF-25s were disqualified for technical irregularities. Leclerc’s car was found to be under the minimum regulatory weight, while Hamilton’s car had excessive floor wear. A hard blow for the team, which had already experienced a complicated weekend in Shanghai, with a victory in the Sprint Race ruined by a disappointing race. Now, the FIA ​​has decided to get to the bottom of it, summoning Hamilton and subjecting the red cars to more thorough checks. The British star, seven-time world champion, thus finds himself at the center of a story that could mark a turning point in his first season with Ferrari.

Suzuka, with its legendary curves and figure-eight layout, will be the stage for this new challenge. Not only for the competition on the track, but also for the tensions off the circuit. Ferrari, which had counted on Hamilton to relaunch itself in the fight for the title, now finds itself having to demonstrate its technical reliability. The eyes of the FIA ​​will be trained on every detail: from the weight of the cars to the wear of the components, nothing will be left to chance. For Hamilton, accustomed to managing pressure, this is further proof of resilience in a year already full of obstacles.

The fans, meanwhile, are divided. Some see this inspection as a targeted attack on Ferrari, while others believe it is a fair check to ensure the regularity of the championship. On social media, reactions follow one another: “Hamilton under pressure, but he will come back stronger,” writes a fan, while another jokes: “Ferrari stumbles again, what a surprise.” In the meantime, in Maranello they are working tirelessly to correct the errors and show up in Japan with an impeccable car.

The Japanese Grand Prix, the third act of the 2025 World Championship, promises to be a fiery one. In addition to the battle between McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes, who have dominated the scene so far, Ferrari must face this technical storm. For Hamilton, it is an opportunity to silence the critics and demonstrate that his move to the Reds was not a mistake. The Suzuka track, with its history of epic duels, could provide another memorable chapter in this Formula 1 season. All eyes are on the checkered flag: will Ferrari be able to get back up? The answer will come in a few days.
