Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari F1 career has been filled with disappointment and negativity so far. 2025 has seen the seven-time world champion plummet down to sixth in the drivers' championship while not even being able to secure a single grand prix podium in the first 14 race weekends of the season.

Fred Vasseur has acknowledged that he and Lewis Hamilton “underestimated” the challenge of being successful in the Briton’s first year at Ferrari. Seven-time F1 world champion Hamilton moved to the Scuderia in the off-season after 12 years and six titles with Mercedes.
