  • Michael Schumacher’s brother, Ralf Schumacher, criticised Lewis Hamilton's performance in his debut year at Ferrari, calling him “not good enough.”

  • Hamilton has described his season as a “nightmare” and has not achieved a podium finish in 21 Grand Prix races, a first in his F1 career.
  • Elkann's comments came as Ferrari dropped to fourth in the constructors' championship, despite acknowledging improvements in the team's mechanics and car.
  • Hamilton trails his teammate Leclerc by 66 points in the world championship standings, with two races remaining after this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.
