Ferrari is currently facing a series of internal issues that seem increasingly difficult to resolve, and now journalist Giorgio Terruzzi has delivered a scathing critique that highlights the weaknesses within the Maranello team.
The Prancing Horse is going through a turbulent period, with high expectations surrounding its 2026 Formula 1 project. Despite the optimism among fans, the team from Maranello appears far from ready, burdened by growing internal tensions that raise serious concerns about its direction. Giorgio Terruzzi’s latest comments have further intensified the criticism surrounding Ferrari’s situation.
Ferrari’s struggles continue after the Singapore Grand Prix
The Maranello-based squad finds itself once again in the eye of the storm following a disappointing performance at the Singapore Grand Prix. The problems with the SF-25’s brake temperature management are not isolated incidents but rather symptoms of deeper design flaws in the car’s overall concept. Within the team, fingers are now being pointed at Technical Director Loïc Serra, who reportedly decided to focus on upgrading the rear suspension while halting aerodynamic developments earlier than planned.
As Ferrari looks toward the pivotal 2026 season, the stakes have never been higher—particularly if the Scuderia hopes to keep Charles Leclerc committed to its long-term vision. However, during the latest episode of the podcast “Terruzzi Racconta”, Giorgio Terruzzi and fellow journalist Pino Allievi offered some sharp observations that have reignited debate among Formula 1 insiders and fans alike.
“It’s unacceptable that everyone else makes progress, and Ferrari doesn’t”
Giorgio Terruzzi recalled that, “Ferrari went crazy when we discussed Frédéric Vasseur’s difficulties and Charles Leclerc’s hesitant moments.” His words reflected ongoing doubts about the internal dynamics of the team and the apparent lack of stability around its leadership structure.
Pino Allievi added, “Ferrari has indeed left us perplexed. Just look at what happened since they changed that so-called revolutionary suspension, the one that was supposed to give wings to the Ferrari. Things have only gone worse since then. It’s simply unacceptable that all other teams make progress while Ferrari keeps stepping backward. What Lewis Hamilton has said is extremely serious. He sent two reports directly to John Elkann outlining how he would reorganize the team from within, and the fact that this even happened is worrying. Ferrari doesn’t seem to stop and look inside itself, and that’s concerning.”
Ferrari’s internal structure under fire
Within Ferrari, there is growing recognition that the entire organization needs to take responsibility for its current situation. The problems are clearly shared, not isolated to one department or leader. While the engineers and designers at Maranello are known for their talent and creativity, the real issue may lie in how that talent is being managed—or mismanaged.
Understanding the inner workings of Ferrari has always been challenging for outsiders, but today it appears even more opaque. Decisions seem increasingly driven by corporate priorities rather than racing ambition. According to many observers, Ferrari’s top management appears more focused on sales and brand image than on Formula 1 performance, a shift that risks eroding the very essence of what Ferrari stands for in motorsport.
A fading identity and shared responsibility
The worrying sentiment shared by many fans and experts is that Ferrari is slowly losing its racing identity. The once unshakable bond between the brand’s passion for competition and its heritage in Formula 1 seems to be fading. Inside Maranello, accountability appears to be scattered, with responsibility diluted among several departments rather than centralized under a strong leadership figure. This situation only deepens the existing confusion.
For now, it is clear that the blame cannot be placed on Charles Leclerc or Lewis Hamilton, who both remain deeply committed to Ferrari’s cause. Instead, the focus is on the management structure that seems unable—or unwilling—to adapt to the rapid evolution of modern Formula 1. If these internal fractures are not addressed soon, Ferrari risks entering the new regulatory era of 2026 still struggling to rediscover its former glory.
