Nico Rosberg: Lewis Hamilton getting ‘more and more impatient’ with Ferrari. Rosberg said: “There’s so much pressure there at Ferrari. You speak to some people and then, of course, Vasseur’s role is under threat according to the Italian media.”

“And Lewis also is becoming more and more impatient, obviously. Very unlucky also, I have to say, in the last couple of races, always has a few issues going on. So let’s hope. All the hope is on that Silverstone upgrade and that has to work for them.”

Hamilton: Ferrari in need of ‘a lot of changes’ to fight for world title

Lewis Hamilton has delivered his most blunt and candid assessment yet of Ferrari’s struggles, warning that “a lot of changes” are needed behind the scenes if the iconic Italian outfit is to return to the top of Formula 1. Hamilton admitted his hands are tied when it comes to speaking openly about internal matters.

“Of course I’m asking for these things [upgrades],” he said. “I don’t know why we haven’t been bringing upgrades, I think we have one hopefully coming soon. The mindset for me, I’m like ‘there’s a lot of changes that need to be made in the system.’ I wish I could tell you what’s happening. There’s a lot going on in the background.”

“Yeah, I can’t say too much about it,” he added. “There’s so many things I wish I could tell you that could explain the things that have happened this year, the problems we had and what’s going on within the organisation. But my goal is to try and positively influence, try and get change so we can have long term success.”

Lewis Hamilton has put Fred Vasseur in impossible position with latest Ferrari demand after Canadian Grand Prix

Before and after the Canadian Grand Prix, Hamilton called for Ferrari to deliver more upgrades. There were no new parts listed on the official FIA document last weekend. Embattled team principal Fred Vasseur pushed back on development calls because he believed that the FIA’s front-wing clampdown in Spain would benefit Ferrari. After two races, there’s no indication that they have made any relative gains.

Ferrari will introduce a new rear suspension at Silverstone, but the pace of their upgrades has certainly slowed of late. “I don’t know why we haven’t brought them, honestly,” Hamilton said on Sunday, via Gazzetta dello Sport. But as the Italian outlet note, the 40-year-old is simultaneously advocating for Ferrari to prioritise 2026. With major regulation changes looming, the timing of the shift in resources could be critical.

Hamilton doesn’t want Ferrari to ‘waste too much time’ on the SF-25 because they’re already out of both championships. Lead driver Leclerc is 94 points behind Oscar Piastri, and they’re 191 adrift of McLaren in the constructors’.

Fred Vasseur disagrees with Lewis Hamilton on what Ferrari’s ‘main problem’ is after the Canadian Grand Prix

Speaking to the press, via Motorsport Italia, after the race in Canada, it was put to Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur, that Hamilton said several times to the press that Ferrari aren’t bringing new parts soon. Vasseur responded to this and said: “Soon. We will have updates soon.

“But I don’t think that’s the main problem. If you make the first record sector here, I don’t think there’s a need to bring so many updates. It’s not that the others bring them to every weekend and it’s not that we don’t bring anything just because we don’t declare them. We have to focus on ourselves because we didn’t do a clean job this weekend.”

Where Ferrari must improve to capitalise on upcoming F1 upgrades

Motorsport Week

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur has confirmed the SF-25 will be given a new upgrade potentially as early as the next Formula 1 race in Austria, after a Canadian Grand Prix that saw the team, as he described it, make too many “mistakes collectively.”

The car’s biggest critic has been the team’s new boy, Lewis Hamilton, who has not been able to extract a great deal from it on virtually every circuit so far. Hamilton has continuously pleaded for upgrades on the car, and it appears that he will be getting his wish. Vasseur was asked whether he would be able to grant Hamilton’s wish for a new upgrade, expected to be a brand-new rear suspension, and confirmed that it will be happening, and very soon, too.

“We will have an upgrade soon. Before UK. Perhaps another one a bit later,” he said. “Honestly today, I think there is much more into the execution and what you are getting from the car than into the potential of the car itself. Now we are at the end of the obligation of this regulation. And we all know that when we are bringing something on track, we are more speaking about hundredths than tenths. And if you don’t do a good usage of the car, because for setup it’s a bit different, you can lose tenths.”

Video + Podcast: What's really going on with Ferrari's F1 crisis
Jun 18, 2025
The Race

The growing pressure in the Italian media on Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur is the topic for the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast. Former Ferrari communications advisor Roberto Boccafogli joins Jon Noble and Edd Straw to offer his unique insight into the criticisms of Vasseur and what could be done to prevent this.

We ask what’s gone wrong for Ferrari, whether there could be an imminent turnaround and whether Vasseur has convinced the Tifosi he’s taking the problems seriously enough in a team that presents unique communications challenges. We also discuss Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton’s concerns and ask what role they play in the troubles.
