Ferrari Struggles as Hamilton Faces Uncertain Future

Ferrari's 2025 Formula 1 season has started below expectations, with the SF-25 car currently placing fourth in the Constructors' Championship. Charles Leclerc has scored 47 out of Ferrari's 78 points and has outperformed new teammate Lewis Hamilton, who has struggled to adapt and has yet to secure a podium finish. Speculation has arisen about Hamilton potentially leaving Ferrari early after comments by former driver Jaime Alguersuari, but Hamilton, who is contracted through 2026, remains committed to the team's improvement. Both drivers cite qualifying issues as a major weakness and are pushing for urgent upgrades, with Ferrari introducing new components and planning further updates for upcoming races. Hamilton has canceled personal plans to focus on development, describing the situation as 'painful' and not expecting quick fixes. Team principal Fred Vasseur has urged patience as the team works to improve its performance.
