Lewis Hamilton has given a remarkably brief response when asked whether Ferrari remains on the right path under Fred Vasseur, amid renewed discussion surrounding Christian Horner and the Maranello team’s leadership.
On Saturday morning, ScuderiaFans highlighted the numerous occasions in recent weeks when the comments of Fred Vasseur and Lewis Hamilton have appeared increasingly misaligned. That was a scenario that would have been difficult to imagine only a few weeks earlier and inevitably raised some questions about unity inside Ferrari. The background to those concerns can be explored in our analysis of how Lewis Hamilton and Fred Vasseur have appeared increasingly out of sync.
Does Lewis Hamilton still support Fred Vasseur?
Sky UK asked Lewis Hamilton directly about those issues and received some particularly concise answers from the seven-time Formula 1 world champion. The discussion also came against the backdrop of Christian Horner openly expressing interest in a possible Ferrari role.
The interviewer asked: “There is always a lot going on around Ferrari, with Christian Horner putting himself forward for the team principal role. Are you sure the team is still on the right path with Fred Vasseur in charge?”
Lewis Hamilton replied simply: “Yes.”
The interviewer then asked: “Are you united? Is there good harmony within the team?”
Lewis Hamilton nodded and again answered: “Yes.”
Finally, the seven-time world champion was asked what Ferrari could do and what the key would be for the remaining races.
Lewis Hamilton’s answer was equally concise: “Keep trying.”
