Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have recently expressed their solidarity with Ferrari’s engineers and fans on Instagram. This gesture follows chairman John Elkann’s advice to focus more on driving and less on talking.
Last weekend was a mix of success and disappointment for Ferrari in motorsport. While the team secured both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships at the World Endurance Championship in Bahrain, the Brazilian Grand Prix turned into a disaster. Hamilton’s race was cut short after a collision with Franco Colapinto’s Alpine damaged his SF-25, forcing him to retire. Similarly, Leclerc’s race also ended prematurely following an incident with Oscar Piastri and Kimi Antonelli.
With the double retirement in Brazil, Ferrari now sits fourth in the World Championship standings, trailing Mercedes by 26 points and Red Bull by four. Elkann expressed his disappointment over the outcome, emphasizing the need for unity within the team for success.
In response to Elkann’s comments, Hamilton shared a message on Instagram, thanking fans for their support despite the race outcome and expressing determination to keep pushing forward. Leclerc also acknowledged the challenging weekend and stressed the importance of unity in overcoming their current standings in the constructors championship.
