Ferrari Crisis Deepens as Elkann Tells Drivers to 'Talk Less' After Brazil Collapse

The public rebuke followed a double retirement in São Paulo that dropped Ferrari to fourth in the constructors' standings.

Overview

  • Lewis Hamilton called his first Ferrari season a nightmare, then posted a message backing the team and vowing not to give up.
  • Ferrari scored only six points across the Brazilian sprint weekend, with both cars failing to finish the grand prix as Red Bull and Mercedes moved ahead in the standings.
  • Charles Leclerc’s race ended after contact triggered by Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli at a safety‑car restart, a sequence he later disputed with stewards.
  • John Elkann emphasized improved pit work and pace but urged greater focus from his drivers while saying a push for second place remains possible.
  • Hamilton remains winless and without a podium for Ferrari this year and trails Leclerc significantly in points, underscoring the team’s broader 2025 struggles.
