Hamilton Faces Scrutiny Over Ferrari Start After Chinese Grand Prix
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is experiencing increased examination regarding his adaptation to Ferrari during the initial phase of his tenure with the team. Following the Chinese Grand Prix, where he concluded the race behind teammate Charles Leclerc, Hamilton intimated that a specific element of his car was impeding his overall speed. This observation has triggered commentary from figures within Formula 1.
Former F1 Driver Danner Calls for Ferrari to Manage Hamilton’s Remarks
Ex-Formula 1 racer Christian Danner has publicly advised Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur to address Hamilton’s statements. Danner has suggested that Vasseur should assertively manage the situation arising from Hamilton’s insinuations about the car’s performance.
Danner: Hamilton “Not Coming to Terms” With Ferrari Challenge
Speaking to AvD Motorsport Magazine, Danner stated, “He’s not really coming to terms with the whole issue. You can tell he’s a bit unsettled, almost a bit petulant, and complains about this and that.” Danner’s assessment points to a perceived lack of adjustment from Hamilton to the current circumstances at Ferrari.
“Ferrari Must Respond” Says Danner
Danner elaborated on the necessity for Ferrari’s management to intervene: “I mean, I expect – not necessarily for Bahrain, but at some point, of course – that Ferrari will respond to that. Fred Vasseur can’t let the driver say there’s a component on the car that’s hindering my performance.” He emphasized that team leadership cannot permit public pronouncements that could undermine team cohesion or suggest equipment deficiencies without internal resolution.
Hamilton’s “Cryptic Accusations” Deemed Unwise
Addressing Hamilton’s veiled comments, Danner critiqued the approach: “I don’t think it’s very clever to make such cryptic accusations against the team. It’s like, ‘You didn’t give me one component, and that’s why I’m slow.’ I think, no matter how difficult it is for such a superstar, he has to bite the bullet and see how he gets on.” Danner concluded by suggesting Hamilton needs to accept present challenges and focus on performance improvement rather than implying team-related shortcomings.
