Headline: Ferrari Drivers Downplay Chairman’s Criticism Amid Vegas Grand Prix Buzz
Las Vegas, NV – As Formula One descends upon Las Vegas for its highly anticipated Grand Prix, Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have responded to recent public criticism from Ferrari Chairman John Elkann. Elkann’s comments, made after the Brazilian Grand Prix, suggested that while the technical aspects of the team were performing well, the drivers and broader team unity needed improvement.
Seven-time world champion Hamilton, in his first year with Ferrari, brushed off the remarks, stating, “John and I, we speak every week. We have a great relationship. I didn’t have a reaction to it. I don’t really look into those things too much.” He emphasized the “great harmony” within the team despite a challenging season.
Leclerc echoed Hamilton’s sentiment, interpreting Elkann’s message as a positive one aimed at pushing the team to its maximum potential. “John has always been extremely honest with me,” Leclerc stated. “When he called me, he told me what were the intentions of his words… It was a positive message, trying to be positive.”
Both drivers acknowledged the need for improvement and expressed their unwavering commitment to returning Ferrari to the top of Formula One. Elkann’s comments highlighted a disappointing season for Ferrari, falling short of pre-season expectations after a promising 2023.
