Lewis Hamilton Reveals He Exposed ‘Exact’ Problem to Ferrari Amid Dismal 2025 Campaign

Lewis Hamilton‘s debut year at Ferrari has remained extremely troublesome. The Briton was expected to compete for both championships with the Prancing Horses. However, Hamilton has been unable to achieve even a podium finish in the first 12 outings. The 40-year-old is still giving it his all in hopes that Maranello figures out the issues and fixes the performance as soon as possible. Now, the seven-time champion revealed that he identified the exact cause of the problems in the SF-25 challenger.

Lewis Hamilton started the season off with great hopes in terms of performance following a decent outing in the pre-season test. The Briton even achieved a sprint race victory in the second round in China. However, since then, the 40-year-old hasn’t bounced back from the problems and scored good enough results. Hamilton even accepted the difficult phase of the Italian constructor and how the issues caused him to miss his former team, Mercedes.

Now, Lewis Hamilton asserted that he and his teammate Charles Leclerc spent extended amounts of time in the factory and worked on the issues in the car. Hamilton pointed out that both of them identified the exact cause of trouble in the SF-25. As such, it is upto Ferrari and the engineers now to fix the issues immediately and achieve a turnaround in performance.

I just got back from a debrief in which we talked about our problems and both Charles and I identified exactly what the problem is.

Lewis Hamilton said, as reported by Formulapassion.it

Previously, Hamilton had already revealed that he started looking at the 2026 season and coming up with a race winning car then. Speaking on the SF-25, the Briton reckoned that some parts of the car were good enough to be kept around. However, there were many aspects of the chassis that needed to be changed, as Ferrari would now rush into integrating the upgrades in the car.

I thought that some parts of the SF-25 I would like to keep, but others need to be changed to be higher and we are working on this.
