Lewis Hamilton’s former team-mate has suggested that the Ferrari man isn’t enjoying his time with the Maranello-based outfit, as he scrambles around for top-six finishes.

Hamilton moved to Ferrari from Mercedes back in January, and was hoping to be able to challenge for an eighth world title with the team in 2025, but sits down in seventh in the drivers’ championship after a poor start, and is already 90 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri.

Mercedes are also second in the constructors’ championship, appearing to be McLaren’s closest challengers despite it being Ferrari who finished just 11 points behind the eventual champions in 2024.

German legend Ralf Schumacher recently suggested that Hamilton could quit Ferrari before his contract is over, with Russell’s comments about the champion not enjoying himself adding more fuel to that particular fire.
