Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have both expressed their solidarity with Ferrari engineers and fans on Instagram following chairman John Elkann’s advice to focus more on driving and less on talking.
While Ferrari celebrated success at the World Endurance Championship finale in Bahrain, the Brazilian Grand Prix turned into a disaster. Hamilton’s race was cut short after a collision with Franco Colapinto’s Alpine damaged his SF-25, forcing him to retire. Leclerc also faced misfortune, failing to finish the race due to an incident with Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli.
The double retirement at the Brazilian Grand Prix has pushed Ferrari down to fourth place in the World Championship standings, trailing Mercedes by 26 points and Red Bull by four. Elkann expressed disappointment over the team’s performance and emphasized the importance of unity and focus.
In response to Elkann’s remarks, Hamilton and Leclerc indirectly shared their perspectives on social media. Hamilton expressed gratitude for the support and vowed to persevere despite setbacks. Leclerc acknowledged the challenges faced by the team and emphasized the need for unity to overcome obstacles in the remaining races of the season.
Meanwhile, Sky has enhanced its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle to include additional streaming services alongside comprehensive coverage of Formula 1 and other sporting events. The drivers’ determination and Ferrari’s resolve will be put to the test in the upcoming races as they strive to improve their standing in the championship.
