Lewis Hamilton has denied claims from some Italian media suggesting that he would be pressuring Ferrari to replace certain key members of his team. According to published information, the seven-time world champion has expressed frustrations about the execution of recent races, but he himself has wanted to clarify the situation.
The newspaper Corriere della Sera did not specify which members of the Ferrari team might be in the spotlight, but pointed out that Hamilton complained during the Hungarian and Italian Grand Prix races about various aspects of the team’s performance. In particular, in the Dutch race, he expressed his discontent at not being able to overtake his teammate Charles Leclerc.
After the collision between both drivers on the first lap of the Italian Grand Prix, Hamilton pointed out that the management of the situation was up to the team principal, Fred Vasseur. Nevertheless, the British driver has wanted to clarify that he has not requested the change of any team member, expressing his respect for all his teammates.
Hamilton commented in a message on his social media: ‘I have not asked for anyone to be replaced. Everyone who works alongside me is dedicated 100% every day, and that dedication is what drives us forward.’ Despite the tensions, the driver wants to continue working together to improve the team’s performance.
It is worth noting that Hamilton has made some modifications to his team this year to counteract a disappointing 2025 season. Throughout this season, he has secured twenty points in the championship, currently placing third, despite being 101 points behind leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes.
Thus, despite speculation about his influence, Hamilton reaffirms his commitment to Ferrari and to his team, emphasizing that the goal is to work together to optimize the team’s performance.
