As we approach the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season, more and more people are expressing the opinion that Scuderia Ferrari made a big mistake by signing Lewis Hamilton.
For example, Eddie Jordan spoke out, even harshly criticizing Ferrari management in a podcast:
"I have a message for John Elkann, the chairman of the group: What the hell were you thinking when you sent Carlos Sainz away, with whom Scuderia Ferrari was a friendly, predictable, well-structured and developing team? The drivers understood each other very well, Frederic Vasseur's work was starting to yield results and he finally had the opportunity to achieve serious success with the Italians after a long time. And now he has to start asking himself how to reorganize everything, because he has to integrate a new member into the team with all his ego and other aspects...
Don't worry, Lewis Hamilton is a very nice person, one of the best in F1, the problem is not him. The problem starts with Elkann breaking a perfectly functioning unit, it's like suicide that he allowed this whole thing so they could send Carlos away..." - Jordan assessed.
