Formula 1 is in turmoil: Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time world champion, has reportedly been turned into a “guinea pig” by Ferrari after a catastrophic start to the season! The paddock is talking about nothing else, and rumors of an internal revolt at the Maranello team are becoming more and more insistent. But what is really going on in the most iconic team in motorsport?
Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari was heralded as the beginning of a new golden era. Fans dreamed of seeing the Briton dominate at the wheel of the Reds, but reality was a harsh blow. The first races of 2025 were a disaster: technical problems, wrong strategies and disappointing performances plunged the team into a deep crisis. Hamilton’s disqualification in China for an irregularity at the bottom of the car marked the lowest point, fueling fierce criticism. Detractors began to wonder whether the champion was now in decline or whether Ferrari had lost its magic.
But the real bombshell exploded after the Japanese Grand Prix. Sources close to the team revealed that Ferrari would have used Hamilton as a test bed for risky technical experiments, in a desperate attempt to solve the problems of the SF-25. New set-ups, floor changes and extreme adjustments would have been tested on Lewis’ car, often to the detriment of its performance. The result? A seventh place in Suzuka that infuriated the driver. Hamilton, visibly frustrated, did not hide his discontent, speaking of the chronic instability of the car and a strategy that left him struggling at the back.
The fans are divided. Some accuse the team of having sacrificed its ace to pursue unlikely solutions, and others defend Ferrari, arguing that only a champion like Hamilton could take on such a delicate role. Meanwhile, Frederic Vasseur, team principal, is trying to calm things down, but tensions are palpable. Leclerc, the other leading driver, seems to be sailing in calmer waters, fueling speculation about possible internal favoritism.
This situation has sparked a heated debate in the world of F1. Is it right to use a champion like Hamilton for experiments that could compromise his season? Or is it a necessary sacrifice to bring Ferrari back to the top? One thing is certain: the chaos in Maranello is keeping everyone on tenterhooks. Every race has become a trial by fire, and the next Grand Prix could be decisive in understanding whether this “revolt” will mark the end of a dream or the beginning of an epic comeback.
Hamilton, for his part, does not give up. His determination is legendary, and his fans still believe in a miracle. Will Ferrari be able to reverse the trend and transform this nightmare season into a triumph? The world of F1 is waiting for answers, and every corner could hide a surprise.
