Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have recently expressed their solidarity with Ferrari engineers and fans on Instagram following chairman John Elkann’s advice to prioritize driving over talking. Ferrari had a mixed weekend in motorsport, achieving success at the World Endurance Championship finale but facing setbacks at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
During the Brazilian Grand Prix, Hamilton’s race was cut short when his front wing collided with another car, causing significant damage and forcing him to retire. Leclerc also encountered trouble and failed to finish the race after being involved in an incident following a safety car restart.
As a result of the disappointing outcomes, Ferrari now sits fourth in the World Championship standings behind Mercedes and Red Bull. Elkann emphasized the need for unity within the team to improve performance, particularly highlighting the mechanics’ championship-winning efforts in pit stops.
In response to Elkann’s comments, Hamilton and Leclerc indirectly addressed the situation on Instagram, expressing determination and commitment to overcoming challenges. They acknowledged the difficulties faced during the race and emphasized the importance of unity and focus moving forward.
Sky has enhanced its Ultimate TV and Sky Sports package to include additional streaming services and extensive coverage of Formula 1, along with other sports events. The drivers’ reactions to Elkann’s remarks reflect their determination to push forward despite setbacks and work towards better results in the remaining races of the season.
