As we approach the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season, more and more people are expressing the opinion that Scuderia Ferrari made a big mistake by hiring Lewis Hamilton.
For example, Eddie Jordan got angry when he harshly criticized Ferrari management on a podcast:
"I have a message for John Elkann, the group's chairman: What the hell was he thinking when he sent Carlos Sainz, with whom Scuderia Ferrari was a friendly, predictable team with a good structure that was developing? The drivers understood each other very well, Frederic Vasseur's work was starting to bear fruit, he finally had the chance to achieve serious success with the Italians after a long time. And now he has to start thinking about how to reorganize everything, because he has to integrate a new member into the team, along with his ego and all the other consequences...
Don't get me wrong, Lewis Hamilton is a very nice person, one of the best guys in the F1 field, the problem won't be him. The problem starts with Elkann breaking up a perfectly working unit, it's like suicide that he allowed all this, that they were able to send Carlos…” - Jordan struck.
