Ferrari F1 responds firmly to “false” criticism of Lewis Hamilton!
Amid growing controversy within the Formula 1 community, the Ferrari team has publicly come out in defense of its future driver Lewis Hamilton, strongly responding to recent criticism that they claim is “unfounded and completely false.”
Rumors began circulating after a series of social media comments and statements from former paddock members questioned Ferrari’s decision to sign Hamilton for the 2025 season. Some critics even went so far as to suggest that the seven-time world champion no longer has the competitive level necessary to lead a project like Ferrari’s.
However, Ferrari team principal Frédéric Vasseur was quick to respond. In an exclusive interview with Italian media, Vasseur stated: “We fully trust Lewis’s experience, talent, and winning mentality. The criticisms that have been voiced recently are not only unfounded, but also demonstrate a lack of respect for one of the greatest drivers in history.”
Vasseur also emphasized that Hamilton’s addition is part of a long-term strategy that seeks to return Ferrari to the forefront of Formula 1. “We have a clear plan and we know what we want to achieve. Lewis’s arrival is a key part of that project. He brings not only speed, but also leadership and technical knowledge that will be invaluable to the development of the car,” he added.
For his part, Hamilton has preferred to stay out of the controversy, limiting himself to posting a brief message on his social media: “I’m excited for what’s next. The best is yet to come.”
The tifosi (Ferrari fans) have shown a mixture of enthusiasm and skepticism. While many celebrate the arrival of a living legend, others still remember the difficulties faced by other world champions wearing red.
The 2025 season promises to be one of the most exciting in recent years, and the partnership between Ferrari and Hamilton could be the perfect ingredient to bring excitement back to the championship. Only time will tell if this bold move will bear fruit.
