Overview

  • Ferrari announced a multi-year deal to keep Fred Vasseur as team principal just before the summer break to project stability despite mounting criticism over its performance.
  • The team remains 299 points behind McLaren in the Constructors’ Championship after mid-season upgrades underdelivered.
  • Lewis Hamilton failed to advance beyond Q2 in Hungary and finished 12th in the Grand Prix, extending his deficit to Charles Leclerc this season.
  • Internal contacts claim 90% of Ferrari engineers opposed Hamilton’s signing; former driver Marc Surer insists there is no evidence of preferential treatment for Leclerc.
  • Juan Pablo Montoya predicts that as Hamilton adapts to the SF-25’s ground-effect design, he could become a significantly tougher rival to his teammate.
