Breaking news: Ralf Schumacher Raises Concerns Over Lewis Hamilton’s….readmore
Former Formula 1 driver and current pundit Ralf Schumacher has expressed serious concerns about Lewis Hamilton’s future in the sport, suggesting the seven-time world champion could consider early retirement if his struggles at Ferrari continue. Hamilton, who made the high-profile switch from Mercedes to Scuderia Ferrari ahead of the 2025 season, has yet to find his rhythm with the Italian team’s current challenger, the SF-25.
Despite entering the season with high expectations and optimism, Hamilton’s performance so far has fallen short. He managed a highlight moment with a win in the sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix, but that has been his only major success. As of now, he is sitting seventh in the Drivers’ Championship standings. This places him behind not only his Ferrari teammate but also both drivers from Mercedes, the team he left at the end of the 2024 season after spending over a decade with them.
Schumacher, who raced in Formula 1 in the late 1990s and early 2000s and claimed six Grand Prix victories during his career, has observed Hamilton’s demeanor in recent weeks and believes it signals potential trouble. “His body language is showing signs of desperation,” Schumacher stated. “You can see he is not comfortable in the current situation. It reminds me of how I felt when I was struggling—it’s a look you recognize if you’ve been through it.”
The SF-25 has proven to be a difficult car to master, and Hamilton’s driving style appears not to be meshing well with its characteristics. Teammate Charles Leclerc has adapted better, consistently outperforming Hamilton and raising further questions about the Briton’s adjustment period.
There is growing speculation in the paddock about how long Hamilton will endure these challenges. Although he signed a multi-year contract with Ferrari, insiders are beginning to wonder if he will see it through. While there’s been no official word from Hamilton himself suggesting retirement, the visible frustration and lack of competitiveness are raising eyebrows.
As the season progresses, much attention will be focused on whether Hamilton can turn things around and rediscover the form that made him one of the most successful drivers in the history of the sport—or whether the dream Ferrari move could end sooner than expected.
