Lewis Hamilton demand issued by Ferrari boss- ‘You have to stop’
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has come out in strong support of Lewis Hamilton, calling for an end to questions about the British driver’s form. Despite a promising fourth-place finish at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Hamilton’s overall performance since joining Ferrari has been under scrutiny.
Vasseur’s defense of Hamilton is a clear indication that the team is backing their driver, and the principal is eager to shift the focus away from individual performances and towards the collective effort of the team. When asked to assess Hamilton’s recent display, Vasseur replied, “You have to stop this. It’s not that he’s doing a good weekend and everything is perfect, and when he’s not having a good weekend, it’s a disaster.”
Vasseur emphasized the importance of staying calm and working together as a team to catch up with the front-runners. He praised the entire team’s efforts, including Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, the strategy, and the mechanics. Vasseur’s message is clear: Ferrari needs to work collectively to achieve success, rather than focusing on individual performances.
Despite Vasseur’s plea, he was again questioned about Hamilton’s form, prompting him to reiterate his stance. “You have to stop,” he insisted. “Every single driver is working on himself, working with the team, trying to develop something, trying to do a better job.” Vasseur emphasized that Hamilton, like every driver, is continually working to improve and that it’s unfair to judge him based on a single weekend’s performance.
Vasseur’s comments come at a crucial time for Hamilton, who is looking to revive his season and silence his critics. The British driver’s future with Ferrari has been the subject of speculation, but Vasseur’s backing suggests that the team is committed to supporting Hamilton.
As the season progresses, it will be fascinating to see how Hamilton responds to Vasseur’s vote of confidence. With the team’s collective effort and Hamilton’s individual talent, Ferrari may yet prove to be a force to be reckoned with in the championship. For now, Vasseur’s message is clear: it’s time to stop questioning Hamilton’s form and focus on the team’s collective progress.
