Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have recently expressed their solidarity with Ferrari’s engineers and fans on Instagram. This gesture follows a directive from chairman John Elkann advising less talk and more focus on driving.
Last weekend was a mix of success and setbacks for Ferrari in motorsport. While the team secured both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships at the World Endurance Championship finale in Bahrain, the Brazilian Grand Prix turned into a disaster. Hamilton’s race was cut short after an incident with Franco Colapinto’s Alpine, causing damage that forced him to retire. Leclerc also faced misfortune during the race, failing to finish after an incident involving Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli.
With both drivers failing to score in the Brazilian Grand Prix, Ferrari now sits fourth in the World Championship, trailing Mercedes by 26 points and Red Bull by four. Elkann’s response to this situation emphasized the team’s unity for success.
In response to the chairman’s remarks, Hamilton and Leclerc shared their thoughts on Instagram. Hamilton acknowledged the disappointment of the race but expressed determination to persevere, while Leclerc highlighted the need for unity to overcome the challenges faced by the team in the remaining races of the season.
