Lewis Hamilton’s celebrated move to Ferrari for the 2025 Formula 1 season may be in jeopardy as tensions mount due to a string of contentious decisions by the FIA.
Insider reports suggest that the relationship between Hamilton’s camp and Ferrari is becoming strained, with persistent scrutiny from the sport’s governing body stirring growing concern.Hamilton’s switch from Mercedes to Ferrari was one of the most high-profile transfers in recent F1 history, but his debut season with the team has been marred by instability.
Multiple penalties and steward inquiries—particularly at the Monaco and Spanish Grands Prix—have raised eyebrows and prompted backlash from both fans and industry figures.While Ferrari continues to support Hamilton publicly, sources within the team hint at behind-the-scenes frustration.
The frequent FIA interventions are seen as disruptive, potentially affecting both Hamilton’s rhythm and the broader ambitions of the Ferrari project, which was built around him as a title contender.
A senior Ferrari insider reportedly stated:> “We’re confident in Lewis’ skill, but the constant regulatory interference is proving distracting. If it continues, we’ll have to reassess the situation seriously.”
Whispers in the paddock suggest that specific performance clauses in Hamilton’s contract could be activated if the team’s performance and external relations with FIA don’t stabilize soon.Although Hamilton has remained outwardly calm, his comments after the Spanish Grand Prix hinted at dissatisfaction:> “Racing should be about performance on track—not about decisions going one way all the time.
I just want a level playing field.”As the season reaches a pivotal moment, all eyes are on how Ferrari and Hamilton will navigate the growing off-track drama alongside their on-track challenges.
