Ferrari has released an official statement following the disqualification of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc from their respective positions at the Chinese Grand Prix. The FIA announced after the race that both drivers had been stripped of their points finishes due to separate technical infractions.
Charles Leclerc’s disqualification stemmed from his car being found to be underweight during the post-race inspection, a critical violation of the technical regulations. Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton was penalized for excessive wear on the skid block of his car, which also failed to meet the required standards following post-race checks. As a result, both drivers, who had finished fifth and sixth respectively, were removed from the official standings, leading to a reshuffling of positions and the promotion of other drivers up the race order.
The disqualification of Hamilton and Leclerc marked another blow to Ferrari’s already challenging start to the 2025 Formula 1 season. With both drivers unable to retain their points, the team’s efforts to recover from a slow beginning to the year suffered a significant setback. Ferrari, who had hoped for a solid performance to boost their championship standing, now face additional frustration as their competitors benefit from the disqualifications.
The team’s statement expressed their disappointment, emphasizing that they would review the circumstances of the disqualifications and take the necessary steps to address any potential issues with their cars. The disqualifications also raised questions about the tight margins of technical regulations in Formula 1, particularly regarding the inspections that follow each race. While Ferrari has yet to offer specific details about the causes of the violations, the team made it clear that they are committed to ensuring such issues do not reoccur in future events.
In the meantime, the results of the race have been altered, with drivers who finished behind Hamilton and Leclerc moving up the order and receiving the points they had originally missed out on. For Ferrari, the outcome of the Chinese Grand Prix served as a reminder of the razor-thin margins that can impact a team’s fortunes in Formula 1, where even the smallest oversight can have significant consequences. The team now looks ahead to the next round of the championship, with the hope of turning their fortunes around and securing a more favorable result.
