Ferrari boss tells Hamilton, Leclerc to focus on driving and talk less

Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc need to focus on driving and talk less, Ferrari executive chairman John Elkann warned Monday after the drivers failed to finish the Brazilian Grand Prix. The results dropped Ferrari down to fourth in the Formula 1 constructors' standings and left Hamilton and Leclerc still winless this season. Hamilton, who has been critical of his team all season, called the weekend a nightmare. Leclerc said he was not happy and called his car very slow after struggling in sprint qualifying. Hamilton had to retire midrace due to damage to his car, while Leclerc also went out with damage after getting caught up in a collision between Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli. Elkann addressed Ferrari's troubles on the sidelines of a sponsorship announcement between Stellantis and the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. Brazil was a big disappointment but if we look at the season we can say that our mechanics are actually winning the championship with the performances that the

What did Lewis Hamilton say after driving a Ferrari F1 car for first time?

Lewis Hamilton drove a Ferrari Formula 1 car for the first time Wednesday and described it as "one of the best feelings of my life. Hamilton was behind the wheel of a 2023-specification Ferrari SF-23 bearing his racing number, 44, at the team's Fiorano test track and wore a new helmet design in yellow with a prominent Prancing Horse logo. The 40-year-old British driver set out for his first lap at 9:16 a.m. local time in light fog and twice waved to a crowd of around 1,000 spectators, who had gathered on a nearby bridge despite the cold and wet weather. When I started the car up and drove through that garage door, I had the biggest smile on my face, Hamilton said of his first drive in a Ferrari since joining the Italian team for the 2025 season. It reminded me of the very first time I tested a Formula 1 car, it was such an exciting and special moment, and here I am, almost 20 years later, feeling those emotions all over again. Part-way through the day, Hamilton headed over to fans

Lewis Hamilton says it feels 'surreal' to enter his last season at Mercedes

Seven-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton said Wednesday it feels "surreal" to be entering his last season with Mercedes before joining Ferrari for 2025. Speaking as Mercedes unveiled its 2024 car at Silverstone, home of the British Grand Prix, Hamilton said it has been a privilege to work with the team. Hamilton has driven for Mercedes since 2013, winning six of his seven titles with the team, but is leaving at the end of the season to join Ferrari. The move has shaken up F1 and surprised Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff. "It has obviously been emotional," Hamilton said. "It's very surreal to be here, given I came here in 2013, so 11 years with the team, starting my 12th, and it is such a privilege to work with a group of people where you see the work they're doing over the winter." Mercedes was due to do a brief "shakedown" run at Silverstone on Wednesday before heading to Bahrain for three days of pre-season testing next week. The focus will be on "getting the team back t

Max Verstappen wins Italian GP for record 10th straight F1 victory

Runaway Formula One leader Max Verstappen secured a record 10th straight win with victory at the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday, with a Red Bull one-two on Ferrari's home track. Another flawless performance from the two-time defending champion saw Verstappen beat teammate Sergio Prez by 6.802 seconds. Carlos Sainz Jr. was third, 11.082 behind Verstappen and just ahead of Charles Leclerc as the two Ferrari drivers battled for the final spot on Monza's iconic podium. Verstappen had started second, behind Sainz, but eventually got past him at the start of lap 15 and from then on just like the rest of the season no one could match the Red Bull pace. The record became all but a foregone conclusion as Verstappen began to pull away, swiftly building an advantage of more than five seconds five laps later. The victory also saw Verstappen increase his huge championship lead to 145 points in a crushingly dominant season for the 25-year-old Dutchman. Verstappen has won 12 of the 14 races for
