'Hamilton's nightmare set to continue as key Ferrari decision already made'

Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari stint is turning into a nightmare, and Ralf Schumacher believes the situation will not improve any time soon.

Lewis Hamilton’s season with Ferrari has been turbulent, and his struggles show no sign of easing.

The Briton has publicly criticised the team, labelled himself “useless” after poor weekends in Spa and Hungary, and called for Ferrari to swap drivers.

Hamilton’s situation has drawn strong criticism from former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher.

“I said before the season that it could go wrong. At the moment, I see a lot of theatricality in him.

"He has counted the team, criticises internally, quarrels with the car – that doesn't help anyone,” Schumacher told Bild.

Hamilton’s woes look set to continue, with Ferrari maintaining their focus on Leclerc, Schumacher claims.

“The car suits Leclerc, not him. Maybe he's too old to adjust. Or just can't cope. I think the decision for Leclerc has long since been made. But I don't think he'll quit during the season.”

The Briton has struggled to adapt to the SF-25, trailing Leclerc by 42 points with 10 championship rounds yet to go in 2025.
