The Miami Grand Prix has left its mark again. In just some editions, this race has become one of the most unpredictable and exciting events of the Formula 1 calendar. But what happened this year has unleashed a true earthquake inside the Paddock, especially in Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton, the British legend, could not contain his fury after a controversial episode on track that has lit all the alarms in Maranello.
An unexpected podium and a battle to the limit
Miami again showed that you don’t need to leave from the first row to dream of victory. Oscar Piastri was the main protagonist of the day, taking advantage of the fierce duel between his partner Lando Norris and the always aggressive Max Verstappen in curve two. While the young Australian talent became the lead, chaos began to take shape further back … and Ferrari was, once again, protagonist for the wrong reasons.
Ferrari, two cars … and no clear strategy
From the beginning, the Scuderia chose to divide its strategies: a car with hard tires and another with media. The idea was to cover different possibilities and adapt to the development of the race. However, this tactic ended up in confusion and, finally, in a encounter among his own pilots that left everyone with frown.
Lewis Hamilton, which this year has been under a magnifying glass for his transition to Ferrari in 2025, ended in the middle of the mess, visibly annoyed with the decisions taken from the wall. The seven -time champion did not bit his tongue in his subsequent statements, launching direct darts to the management of the Italian team.
Hamilton explodes: “This is not what they promised me”
When getting out of the car, Hamilton was blunt: “I don’t understand what we are doing. We had rhythm, we had potential, but communication was non -existent. It is not what they promised me.” His words soon went viral, where Ferrari and British fans began to wonder if the 2025 alliance could be at risk before starting.
Some analysts suggest that the team did not know how to prioritize any of its pilots or read the race correctly. “Putting both cars in different strategies can be valid, but if there is no clear guideline at the key moment, the result is chaos,” said an expilot in statements toSky Sports.
Did Hamilton right be angry?
Many wonder if Hamilton’s reaction was exaggerated. But when reviewing the development of the race, it seems clear that there was a lack of leadership from the Pit Wall. At the decisive moment, when the two Ferrari found themselves on the track, none gave space, and the tension was palpable. Although they did not get to the contact, a very valuable time was lost that cost them positions in front of the McLaren and Mercedes.
In addition, the misunderstanding between both pilots caused Hamilton to end behind Charles Leclerc, despite having had a better pace for a good part of the test. A situation that undoubtedly fed his frustration.
Crisis in Ferrari ahead of time?
This incident arrives at a crucial moment for Italian team. With the incorporation of Hamilton planned by 2025, the team needs to show signals of stability and evolution. However, situations such as Miami sow doubts about their ability to manage two strong and hunger pilots.
Rumors within the paddock already point to possible internal tensions, and although from Ferrari they tried to minimize the matter before the press, the reality is that the image left in Miami was worrying.
What is coming: reaction or collapse?
The season is still long, and Ferrari has time to redeem. But it will be key that they learn from errors like Miami’s if they want to compete from you to you with Red Bull and McLaren. Hamilton, meanwhile, has sent a clear message: he is not willing to tolerate disorganization. His ambition for adding an eighth world title remains intact, and does not want to waste time in teams that are not ready to win.
Miami has given us another memorable career, but has also opened a crack that could grow if measures are not taken. Is this the beginning of an internal fracture in Ferrari, or simply a stumbling block on the road to glory?
