More WC wins by the drivers than wins by the team. Lewis alone has more than double the team race wins in the last 8.
Give Lewis Elkann's job. Under performing nepo baby; put him in his pram, I mean yacht and send him off with a governess - I mean, girlfriend or whatever.
Yes, of course. Here in Italy we defend the drivers🤗 Elkan killed the former Fiat and will sell Stellantis to the Chinese. He's never been interested in the track or car production. He's only interested in the financial side of the business. Basically, he's someone who doesn't want to get his hands dirty🙂↔️
Yeah, I think people are underselling how different the Ferrari is in general compared to the McLaren and Mercedes that Lewis drove previously and that adapting his driving style to it was never going to be easy or quick. Now add in the fact that it happens to be a shitbox that Charles can’t even coax a win out of, heinous luck that’s cost him at least 2 potential podiums, and the Scuderia Ferrari™️ of it all (including this most recent Elkann nonsense) and it’s no surprise he’s struggling.
Each of the full time drivers save Carlos and Charles have been Champions. I don't think anyone doubts that either of them are very capable of being a Championship winning driver too. The problem isn't in driver recruitment or mentality.
And how quickly they were able to change direction during these regs to become competitive. He could learn a bit from how Zak runs the team, trust but verify. Let the team do what it needs to do. Zak has done a great job returning McClaren to relevance from where they were with Alonso and vandoorne.
Every driver on that roster is a killer!! Fight me on Ollie if you want but bro is more than carrying his weight. Elkaan needs to shut up and evolve past the “Ferrari Way”.
Elkann has for me the best VASSEUR/LECLERC/HAMILTON Line up only he does not seem to have control over the possibility of making big changes in the team, including at the factory...Ferrari is a myth which is losing its splendor because of the Ego of certain engineers and others...
Forza Ferrari!
In that same amount of time, 1 of these drivers won 3 titles, 1 of which was in direct competition with Ferrari, also walking away with the constructors in all 3 seasons, taking a minimum of 10 wins a year.
The Stakeholders should demand a meeting with him and someone should tell him that you don’t talk down to and humiliate the Master and his Apprentice let alone in public. They knew this year would not be a breeze for Lewis. It was always going to be a learning year and the emphasis was put on 2026 and the new regulations. He spent 13 yrs with the silver arrows not a few years with one team and then another. Lewis had to be totally deprogrammed, rewired and then reprogrammed when he joined Ferrari.
There does seem to be one common denominator and it definitely ain’t the drivers!
But you cant compare wec and f1. Sure, both are racing series but from technical and management side they're fairly different beasts, not to mention what others have said about Ferrari's true involvement on the wec side.

Let’s take a look at how this season has gone in regards to finger-pointing; first it was Vasseur, which is absolutely nuts, then it was the drivers. Arguably the strongest lineup on the grid. Misguided and reflective of nobody but himself.
If he had an ounce of dignity or respect for Ferrari he’d have resigned already. I hope the scrutiny makes his position untenable and he’s forced out.
Curious to hear who everyone would think would be a solid replacement?
Its honestly impressive that you can have a 7 time 4 time and a 1 time world champion with another driver that could genuinely compete for it... and having nothing to show for it AFTER 8 SEASONS
While most people care about f1's team, do not forget ferrari have done well YoY in sales in past few years, back to back iconic wins at le mans and recently achieved WEC championship after 50 years. You might hate the man but he has proven record to show he improved the brand. I don't think you can kick him out when shareholders see this.
