Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have recently expressed their solidarity with Ferrari’s engineers and fans on Instagram following a directive from chairman John Elkann to focus more on driving and less on talking.
In the world of motorsport, Ferrari celebrated a triumphant weekend by securing both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships at the World Endurance Championship finale in Bahrain. Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi achieved victory with the No. 50 machine.
However, the Brazilian Grand Prix turned into a disaster for Ferrari. Hamilton’s race was abruptly ended after his car’s front wing collided with Franco Colapinto’s Alpine, causing severe damage. Leclerc also faced misfortune as he failed to finish the race due to an incident involving Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli.
Post the double-DNF, Ferrari now sits in fourth place in the World Championship, trailing Mercedes by 26 points and Red Bull by four. This situation prompted a strong reaction from Elkann, emphasizing the need for unity within the team.
In response to Elkann’s remarks, Hamilton and Leclerc indirectly shared their thoughts on Instagram. Hamilton expressed gratitude for the support after the disappointing race, vowing to persevere, while Leclerc acknowledged the challenges faced and highlighted the importance of unity in overcoming the obstacles ahead.
Additionally, Sky has enhanced its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports bundle to include a wide range of streaming services and channels, offering comprehensive coverage of Formula 1 and other sports events.
The recent events underscore the challenges faced by Ferrari in the ongoing season and the determination of the drivers to overcome setbacks and strive for better results in the remaining races.
