FRED VASSEUR INSISTS FERRARI 2025 IS NOT A DISASTER SEASON
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur insists their 2025 F1 season is "not a failure" and denies the team needs major changes despite poor results.
Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur doesn't agree with calling the team’s 2025 Formula 1 season a complete disaster that needs big changes.
With only two races left, the Italian team is likely to finish outside the top three in the Constructors’ Championship and without any race wins.
Ferrari lost second place to Mercedes earlier this month at Interlagos. In that race, neither of their drivers finished.
In Las Vegas, Ferrari had another bad weekend, losing more ground to Mercedes and falling behind Red Bull.
Going into this weekend's race in Qatar, Ferrari is 13 points behind Red Bull, while Mercedes is 40 points ahead in the fight for second place.
Even though Vasseur knows recent weeks have hurt the team’s goals, he doesn't think it's right to call Ferrari’s 2025 season a catastrophe.
“We didn’t score points last weekend, but two weeks ago we were second in the championship,” he told reporters.
“It’s not that it was a complete disaster. Disaster isn’t the right word. The tough part is that we only scored six or seven points in the last two weekends.”
“Before this, we were ahead of Mercedes and Red Bull in the championship. It’s not that dramatic.”
Vasseur gets why Leclerc and Hamilton are frustrated
Charles Leclerc said he won’t miss driving Ferrari’s problematic SF-25 car, and Lewis Hamilton called this season his worst ever.
“I understand the drivers want more,” Vasseur said.
“I’m also tough in the debriefing on Monday mornings at the factory. But it’s in our DNA to always want more.
“Max Verstappen will also try to get more from his team. This is normal in the paddock; it’s not a drama.”
Ferrari hopes to take advantage of new rules in 2026 to end their long wait for a title, but Vasseur said the team doesn't need major changes.
“Everyone wants to do a better job; it’s part of racing. If you look at the grid, everyone except maybe Max wants to do better.
“This goes for us, the team, Charles, and Lewis. We all want more.
“To get more, we need to work harder, come back next week with more focus, avoid mistakes, and improve the car.
“But we don't need to change anything drastically.”
THE 2026 ULTIMATUM: WHY NEXT SEASON IS "MAKE OR BREAK" FOR LEWIS HAMILTON
After a winless 2025 debut, Lewis Hamilton faces a pivotal year. See why Steiner believes the 7x champ is nearing the F1 exit.
Guenther Steiner, who used to run the Haas team, thinks Lewis Hamilton might quit Formula 1 if Ferrari can't get to the top of the Driver's Championship by 2026—he thinks that season will be super important for the racing star.
Hamilton had a tough first year with Ferrari, ending up sixth in the F1 rankings with 156 points.
That was 86 points behind his teammate, Charles Leclerc, and he didn't even get on the podium once, which is a first for him in a full season.
He often said he was bummed out about how his Ferrari debut was going.
Back in November, after the Las Vegas Grand Prix, he told Sky Sports, I feel awful. This has been the worst season ever, and it just keeps getting worse no matter how hard I try. I'm trying everything I can, both in and out of the car.
Hamilton looked pretty sad a lot during the season because he couldn't really fight for race wins.
Steiner told Sports Krone, I think if Ferrari has a good car next season, Hamilton might be able to turn things around. If they are more competitive, Lewis might find his drive again. But if things stay the same, next season will probably be his last in Formula 1. He's not going to go through that again. The situation is tough for him, and you could see that in every interview. So, the next season will be key for him.
What's Hamilton saying about quitting?
When the media asks Hamilton about his F1 future, he doesn't want to talk about retiring.
At the end of the season, when someone asked him what he would say to those who think he might retire soon, the 40-year-old said, I wouldn't say anything to them. None of them have done what I've done, so they don't know anything more than I do.
Last summer, after some rumors that he might leave early, Hamilton said he's staying at Ferrari until his contract is up.
He said, For those writing stories about me thinking about not racing, I've just started here with Ferrari. I've been here for a few years, and I'm in it for the long run, so there's no question about what I'm focused on achieving with this team. There are zero doubts, so please stop making stuff up.
In 2026, everyone will still be wondering about Hamilton's future in F1, mainly if Ferrari keeps struggling with the new rules. And if Steiner is right, another year of not competing for a championship could be the end for him.
MAX VERSTAPPEN NAMED PEER-VOTED DRIVER OF THE YEAR FOR FIFTH CONSECUTIVE SEASON
Max Verstappen wins his 5th straight F1 peer award, beating champion Lando Norris. Lewis Hamilton drops out of the top 10 for the first time.

Max Verstappen copped his fifth straight driver-of-the-year award in Formula 1's secret peer vote, even though he almost grabbed a fifth title in 2025 but didn't quite make it.
The drivers all voted in secret, except for four guys. The Red Bull driver beat out Lando Norris, who just won the world championship, for the number one spot.
The voting worked like the normal F1 points system. Drivers ranked their top 10 rivals. Verstappen got 25 points from six votes to win.
Norris, who won his first championship after a crazy season, came in second in the driver rankings for the second year running.
The McLaren driver won the title after fighting off pressure from Verstappen and his teammate, Oscar Piastri, all season long.
George Russell took third, moving up one spot from last year. The Mercedes driver had a killer season with two wins and seven more podiums.
Piastri was fourth, up one spot, even though his championship hopes fizzled out near the end. The Aussie was leading by 34 points at one point before his performance dropped off.
Charles Leclerc finished fifth, down two spots, even though he got everything he could out of Ferrari's SF-25. The Monegasque driver had seven podiums during a tough season that saw Ferrari finish fourth.
Carlos Sainz held onto sixth after a great comeback at Williams. After a rough start, the Spaniard grabbed two podiums in a strong second half of the season.
Fernando Alonso jumped two spots to seventh, and the two-time world champion had some crazy drives in Aston Martin's AMR25.
Alex Albon took eighth after his best season with Williams, while rookies Oliver Bearman and Isack Hadjar rounded out the top 10, getting props for their awesome first seasons.
Pierre Gasly almost made the list, even with 10 Q3 appearances in Alpine's tricky A525.
Lewis Hamilton, who's won seven world championships, didn't show up in the rankings, which is a first since they started doing this poll. It shows how rough his first season at Ferrari was.
The four drivers who skipped the vote were Hamilton, Nico Hulkenberg, Lance Stroll, and Yuki Tsunoda.
