Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have recently expressed their solidarity with Ferrari’s engineers and supporters on Instagram. This gesture followed chairman John Elkann’s advice to prioritize driving and minimize public comments.
While Ferrari achieved success at the World Endurance Championship in Bahrain, securing both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships with the No. 50 car, the Brazilian Grand Prix turned into a calamity for the team. Hamilton’s race was cut short after a collision with Franco Colapinto, damaging his SF-25, forcing him to retire. Leclerc also faced early disappointment due to an incident involving Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli.
The back-to-back retirements at the Grand Prix now position Ferrari fourth in the World Championship, trailing Mercedes by 26 points and Red Bull by four. Elkann expressed his disappointment over the performance discrepancy, emphasizing the importance of unity and focus within the team.
In response to Elkann’s remarks, Hamilton and Leclerc indirectly shared their thoughts on Instagram. Hamilton acknowledged the setback in Brazil but remained determined and supportive of his team. Leclerc highlighted the challenging weekend in São Paulo, emphasizing the need for unity to overcome the current standings in the Constructors’ Championship.
