Lewis Hamilton has been criticised in the Italian media after yet another miserable weekend with Ferrari at the Spanish Grand Prix.

While Hamilton’s team-mate Charles Leclerc earned a second-consecutive podium finish in Barcelona, the seven-time champion had to contend with sixth place after he was instructed to let his team-mate past on lap 10.

Hamilton loses out to Leclerc at Ferrari

Leclerc being named as the fighting ‘face of Ferrari’ by the Italian media will undoubtedly come as a blow to Hamilton, who delivered yet another frustrated post-race interview after the Spanish GP.

“I just had a really bad day and I’ve got nothing to say. It was a difficult day, there’s nothing else to add to it, it’s terrible,” he said in a dejected response to Sky Sports F1 after the race.

Hamilton has only finished higher in a grand prix than Leclerc on one occasion at Imola this year but still remains the only Ferrari winner in 2025 after his Chinese sprint victory.
