Lewis Hamilton Will Join Ferrari’s “Vale of Tears”, Fred Vasseur and Co’s Public Failures Get Highlighted by F1 Pundit

Ever since Lewis Hamilton declared he was to join Ferrari next, fans have had one question in mind. That is if Hamilton made the right decision. Opinions vary on whether joining the Red Squad will benefit or harm the legend. Meanwhile, Fred Vasseur’s Ferrari is back to being what it was like under Mattia Binotto. The strongest title contender at the start of the season has become an average team again.

F1 pundit Leo Turrini shares similar opinions on Ferrari. “I see, between Spain and Austria, a Ferrari that is solidly anchored in fourth place among the teams,” Turrini wrote in his column for Quotidino.

The Prancing Horse faced severe setbacks in Austria, from a disappointing Sprint Qualifying for Charles Leclerc to a mediocre Sprint race. “Things are not working out as hoped. It’s been a frankly embarrassing start to the summer,” Turrini added. With a double DNF in Montreal, the Spanish GP row, and now Austria, what is happening to Ferrari?

Welcoming Lewis Hamilton to the “Vale of Tears”, Turrini analyzed the flaws Ferrari had shown in the last few races. He stressed the Tifosi had seen too many trials and didn’t have time for more. “It’s the eternal return of the same: you bring updates, but the results are not encouraging,” the pundit wrote. Ferrari has been facing endless issues, and if they aren’t managed well, the team’s future could worsen.

With a seven-time world champion on their team, Ferrari must aim to build cars to ensure he wins races. Failure could bring severe backlash from fans and experts, similar to Mercedes‘ current situation with Hamilton. What Ferrari does in this case is worth anticipation.

Lewis Hamilton’s entry into Ferrari and all the ongoing troubles

Leo Turrini further broke down the troubles Ferrari was facing. The cars bouncing more than they should, the issue Leclerc faced with the anti-stall during the SQ3 of Sprint qualifying, and most important of all, Charles Leclerc‘s recent short-tempered behavior, were some of the problems witnessed in Spain for the first time and next in Austria.

“On Leclerc’s mistake, I could devote myself to a treatise on psychoanalysis. Frustration can lead to exaggeration, but a driver must know how to manage emotions. End of story,” Turrini remarked bluntly.

F1 enthusiasts are wondering: Will Ferrari prioritize their ‘Golden Boy’ Charles Leclerc or the veteran Lewis Hamilton? This is a big debate, and it won’t be until 2025 that we can guess the outcome. However, if fans perceive any disparity between the two drivers, things could turn unfavorable for Ferrari.

Some fans have even predicted clashes between Leclerc and Hamilton. While these are just speculations for now, it won’t be surprising if it happens for real. After all, F1 is all about competition and active rivalry even amongst teammates.

Ferrari finds itself at a critical juncture with high expectations and mounting challenges. With Lewis Hamilton’s confirmed entry into the squad, Maranello must navigate these turbulent waters. The future holds uncertainties, but Ferrari has the potential to rise once again as a formidable force in the sport.
