**SAKHIR, Bahrain** – Three Grand Prix races into the season, and Ferrari remains podium-less, leaving fans and even former team president Luca Cordero di Montezemolo deeply disappointed. Speaking to TG1 during the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, Montezemolo expressed his pessimism, stating the team lacks “soul.” He lamented the lack of competitiveness, adding, “I’m sad because I’m seeing a team without a soul. Ferrari is passion, working day and night, and never giving up. And I’m also a little angry… I hoped, at least this year, to see a competitive car right away. Today I’m not optimistic.”
Montezemolo also commented on the struggles faced by Lewis Hamilton, noting the seven-time world champion’s challenge in adapting to a new team and a car that is currently not championship-contending. He emphasized the need for a winning car to allow Hamilton to conclude his career on a high note. The disappointing start underscores the immense pressure facing Ferrari to turn their fortunes around.
