Bernie Ecclestone advises Lewis Hamilton to leave Formula 1 amidst his challenging time at Ferrari. The seven-time world champion’s move to the Italian team this season has not yielded success, as he has failed to reach the podium in all 14 races so far, including a disappointing 12th place finish in the recent Hungarian Grand Prix.
Hamilton has been consistently outperformed by his Ferrari teammate, Charles Leclerc, prompting Ecclestone, a former F1 leader, to suggest that it might be the right moment for Hamilton to consider stepping away from racing. Ecclestone expressed concern about Hamilton’s fatigue and suggested that a change of pace could benefit the British driver.
Ecclestone emphasized the importance of Hamilton avoiding potential risks in continuing his F1 career, highlighting that with seven world titles already under his belt, Hamilton has achieved significant success. Despite initially signing a two-year contract with Ferrari, Hamilton’s lackluster performance in Hungary led to suggestions that he should be replaced, with reports indicating his substantial annual earnings with the team.
With the next race scheduled in the Netherlands at the end of the month, Hamilton and his competitors are gearing up for a short break. The ongoing discussions about Hamilton’s future in F1 reflect the challenges he is currently facing, prompting speculation about potential changes on the horizon for the renowned driver.
