A respected Formula 1 pundit believes Ferrari’s double disqualification at this season’s Chinese Grand Prix could explain their recent struggles.

Both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc finished in the points in Shanghai back in March, but were subsequently demoted after their respective vehicles were deemed to have been in breach of regulations.

The incident caused no shortage of embarrassment within the team, who promised the same mistakes would not be repeated in the future as they apologised to their distraught fans.

Since then, Hamilton in particular has become increasingly frustrated with his own results, admitting he is at a loss to explain what is going wrong.

What’s gone wrong at Ferrari?

“This is the Ferrari that was chasing down Lando at a rate of knots at Abu Dhabi. It was a good car at the end of 2024.

Hamilton has endured a disappointing start to his career at the Italian giants following his sensational move from Mercedes during the off-season.

And his ongoing woes have prompted some pundits to speculate that he may quit Ferrari before his contract is up if things don’t improve.
