FERRARI NIGHTMARE! LEWIS HAMILTON FINISHED 2025 WITHOUT A PODIUM AS MERCEDES WINS LOOM AHEAD
Lewis Hamilton’s first Ferrari season ends with zero podiums and a P6 finish. Is the 2026 Mercedes engine his biggest threat?
Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari? It's been a total disaster in the 2025 F1 season.
The real kicker? It could sting even more if Mercedes, the team he left, starts winning in F1 2026.
Is Lewis Hamilton regretting his Ferrari choice?
Tough call.
Calling it a mistake ignores his reasons for leaving Mercedes back then.
Basically, he wanted to ditch the Abu Dhabi 2021 vibes, get away from Mercedes' underperforming years, get a fresh start, and change the mood at the end of his career.
He was searching for something more, wanting to try Ferrari before quitting F1.
Love him or hate him, there was something cool about a top athlete following his heart near the end of his career and finally going after a long-time dream.
It hasn't gone as planned, mainly because the car trouble he had at Mercedes—a flawed design from the start—is the same problem he's facing at Ferrari.
So, it seems like he's the problem.
Why not? The same issues followed him from team to team, car to car.
Basically, there were many reasons—not all about winning—for Hamilton signing with Ferrari in late 2023/early 2024.
Judging it just by race results—though that's the main thing—ignores why he even wanted to drive for Ferrari.
So, from that angle, maybe he doesn't regret it.
But what about his dream to win that eighth title?
That's where it gets tricky.
Leaving Mercedes after two losing seasons in 2022/23 seems a bit quick, especially now that 2026 and the new rules are coming.
Who knows? Maybe Ferrari will nail the new rules next season. Maybe.
But it sounds like Mercedes might, with rumours saying they're getting ready for 2026 earlier than others.
Hamilton has said more than once this season that he wants to end his Ferrari stint well and not be like Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel, champs who didn't win the title with Ferrari.
The thing is, Fernando and Seb started okay at Ferrari.
Alonso and Ferrari were good until he lost the title at Abu Dhabi in 2010, and he never really got over it.
Vettel, though, was doomed from the start since the bosses who hired him were gone when he arrived.
But his three wins in 2015 were a good start before things went downhill after a tough 2016 season.
Hamilton's Ferrari time, however, has been rough since the SF-25 came out in February, and he's already at his breaking point.
The fact that they seem annoyed with each other so early suggests this can't be fixed.
Maybe Hamilton's real mistake was not admitting that his only shot at an eighth title was gone in the mess of Abu Dhabi 2021.
If he'd been more real with himself—admitted he's getting older and just wanted a blast in the red car and then sayonara, as Mark Webber said about Vettel in 2014—instead of focusing on another title, this would be easier for everyone.
The worst thing for him now?
Watching Mercedes, the car he left, win the title with George Russell driving next season.
Now that would be the ultimate insult.
Think Hamilton regrets his Ferrari move now? Just wait until 2026.
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.
