Overview
- Fred Vasseur said Ferrari is “evaluating all options” on Lewis Hamilton’s side, including whether Riccardo Adami remains race engineer.
- Vasseur admitted he underestimated the complexity of Hamilton’s switch after two decades in the Mercedes system and stressed tightening day‑to‑day collaboration.
- Hamilton plans an intensive off‑season with Ferrari after a podium‑less 2025, having already sent detailed feedback and outlining changes for both his own entourage and the team.
- Charles Leclerc noted Hamilton’s adaptation will take time and said his own focus limited how much he could assist, as Ferrari maintained their relationship is stronger than it appears.
- Ferrari halted SF‑25 development in April to target the 2026 rules; Leclerc called it a ‘no‑brainer,’ Hamilton backed it despite short‑term pain, and Vasseur rejected blame placed on technical chief Loic Serra as the team ended 2025 winless with all seven podiums scored by Leclerc.
