Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton, who made headlines with his high-profile switch from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season, is reportedly facing significant challenges within his new team. Recent reports have raised concerns about his adjustment to the Scuderia, suggesting that the British driver might already be considering an early departure, possibly before the end of the current season.
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari was met with widespread excitement and anticipation, not just from fans but also from the F1 community at large. The decision marked a new chapter in his illustrious career, with many hoping he could bring his championship-winning experience to help restore Ferrari to its former glory. However, insiders have now revealed that things are not going as smoothly as expected behind the scenes.
Sources close to the team suggest that Hamilton is struggling to settle into the Ferrari environment, both in terms of car performance and internal team dynamics. It has been reported that he has already missed several key meetings with Ferrari personnel—something that has raised eyebrows within the paddock. Such absences have led to speculation that the 39-year-old driver is not fully engaged with his new team or is experiencing frustration with the progress being made.
The transition from Mercedes, where Hamilton spent over a decade and won six of his seven world titles, to Ferrari—an entirely different organization in terms of culture, operations, and engineering approach—was always going to be complex. At Mercedes, Hamilton enjoyed a long-standing, trusted relationship with team boss Toto Wolff and had a technical team built around his preferences. At Ferrari, however, he is starting from scratch, and sources claim that he has yet to build the same rapport and trust with his new crew.
Moreover, Ferrari’s car performance has reportedly not lived up to expectations. While Charles Leclerc, Hamilton’s new teammate, appears more comfortable with the setup, Hamilton is said to be struggling with the balance and overall feel of the car. This disparity in performance between the two drivers may be contributing to internal tension and a growing sense of dissatisfaction.
Some insiders have even gone so far as to claim that Hamilton may be evaluating his options, possibly considering stepping away from the team—or even the sport—sooner than planned. Though such reports remain unconfirmed, they highlight the mounting pressure surrounding one of the biggest moves in recent F1 history.
Despite the rumors, neither Hamilton nor Ferrari has made any public statements confirming or denying the speculation. However, the absence of a clear message of reassurance from either party has done little to quiet the growing murmurs.
For now, Hamilton remains a Ferrari driver, and the season continues. But as the races unfold, fans and pundits alike will be watching closelynot only for his performance on track but also for any signs that the relationship between the driver and the team is fraying. Should the issues persist, the F1 world may be witnessing one of the shortest and most surprising partnerships in recent memory.
