Ferrari’s president, John Elkann, criticized Formula 1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc after a disappointing Sao Paulo Grand Prix, urging them to prioritize driving over talking. Both drivers failed to score points in the race, retiring due to damage.

Meanwhile, Ferrari’s World Endurance Championship team clinched the title at the Eight Hours of Bahrain with Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi, and James Calado securing the drivers’ title. Ferrari also dominated the manufacturers’ standings.

In F1, challenges persist, especially for Hamilton, who struggled to adapt this season. Despite a Sprint race win in March, the overall performance has been lackluster.

Notably, Ferrari’s issues extend deeper, exemplified by Leclerc’s inability to secure a Grand Prix victory despite minimal errors.

Elkann, present in Bahrain, criticized the drivers for Ferrari’s lack of competitiveness, emphasizing the need for focus. Ferrari currently ranks fourth in the constructors’ championship, the only top-four team without a Grand Prix win in 2025.

Hamilton, who finished 13th in Sao Paulo, expressed frustration but vowed to bounce back in the next race. Leclerc echoed the sentiment, highlighting the team’s determination to improve.
