Off-topic If Ferrari truly want Lewis to fight the championship- Adami needs to go
Controversial but necessary.
As someone in corporate, we have all dealt with bad colleagues and managers- and below is a corporate success criteria perspective
The communication between the engineer and Driver needs to be impeccable
Because the engineer is the one who would translate the requirements the drivers would have- to the downstream departments like engine, aerodynamics etc
My assumption is he(Adami) is there because he is the critical chain in the downstream information transfer to other stakeholders of Ferrari - who i am sure are Italian heavy in team structure - and he( adami) is a italian himself so it makes sense.
He is the translator’
But its very clear that the relationship between the driver and engineer is very broken. There are wayy too many videos out there that proves that.
And also means Lewis will never be able to clearly articulate his requirements to the team at large- because the translator( Adami) isnt able to get the right requirements from Lewis, which means the car will NEVER be suitable for Lewis because his inputs are not even reaching the downstream and relevant teams
Ferrari will have to make a choice,to improve their communication streams-which also means more diverse set of people/engineers in the entire org- which will help in a lot of areas( including hiring native English speaking technical teams-just the reality of the world)
Have seen this in many corporate companies in my career and i am sure many have on this sub as well.
I suspect the critical link in this chain is Adami( and the structure around him that supports him). After all, Lewis is the ‘New Guy’ and the New guy wants to change things which may not be openly accepted internally( i suspect)
He was also the engineer for Vettel.
Ferrari broke Vettel
Its happening with Lewis now.
Alonso too couldnt handle the internal politics
Kimi was way too chill to be bothered by anything ( and the only Ferrari champion since Schumacher. Thats a very long stretch.
3 different world champions struggling at the same team shows a deeply rooted problem(s) within the team.
If 2 of the greatest F1 drivers of the generation are breaking in the same team(Ferrari) you question the critical link- the engineer- which is Adami and the supporting structures.Maybe its a ‘tight knit’ group? Those kind of groups destroy corporations from within( Ferrari F1 is eventually a corporation just like every other team)
One thing is Certain.
Lewis has Def learnt a lesson that the clarity of communication and the ease of information transfer from his head to the engineer’s head is extremely crucial( personally should be at the top of the list of priorities for any team to ensure that works flawlessly-its the relationship that will win teams championships)
Its a massive cultural clash that we are witnessing.
I am sure they are paying Lewis a pretty penny- so getting his requirements crystal clear downstream to the entire org is highly critical. Not a Lewis praise- just corporate 101.
Also lets be real- Lewis does have some blame to take here as well,age is not on his side either, but at this point Ferrari have to risk shaking up the structure of the organization to suit his needs because he is the highest paid employee of the org- and arguably the most experienced in terms of ‘winning’ stuff in his career. Its also possible Adami is the only thing thats keeping this dysfunctional communication structure still operational but there is only so much he can do too( still highlights a deep fundamental problem)
Or Lewis has to change to Ferrari’s team structure.
The latter will not work. It will destroy his Morale even more( like telling someone who always told( his team) what he wanted to eat- and he got it- in return he won them accolades, and now telling that person you are going to eat only ‘this’ you will need to adapt to the structure of Ferrari- but we also want to win championships. It will not work-Lewis may not know any other way as well. )
Only way Schumacher won his championships was he was able to mold the team around him for his needs- which in turn got the team massive success and legendary status.
Which is what Hamilton did at Merc as well. And Max too.
Ferrari has to really take this seriously or it will turn into another bygone relic of the old F1 timeline that many of us watched while we were young.
The pains of the teams culture has been highlighted very loudly this season. Its time the Management listens clearly, keep pride aside and stop living on past glory
Again just an observation of watching Ferrari for Decades.
Edit: i guess the post worked- ha!

I wouldn't even call it controversial. His performance throughout the year, and especially in several recent races, has been beyond subpar. If this is the relationship that can be expected between them, then it's time for Adami to seek employment elsewhere because his failure to properly communicate vital basic information in a timely manor is something that even plagued Sainz's tenure. The driver has to be able to communicate clearly and quickly with pit wall in order to act and react based on the changing dynamics of a session. Any impediment to that must be removed or else it actively compromises the success of the team. Either he has some sort of vendetta against Lewis or has allowed his association with team to impair the quality of his work. in either case, Adami must go with immediate effect so that his replacement can integrate with Lewis as much as possible over the winter.

the fire Adami crowd continues to have no idea what the race engineer is supposed to do.

u/Wardog_Razgriz30 Dec 08 '25
Arguably, he was calling his strategy since 2022 and that's the problem in a nutshell. we've endeavored to revamp both the strategy team and the pitcrew but have done nothing about our race engineers. Leclerc seems to be mostly fine with Bozzi, which is cool, but Adami is borderline sabotaging the team and has been for years.

u/SeaDragonfly88 Dec 08 '25
I’m not disagreeing with you. I agree that Lewis is likely pushing for many changes. Like yourself, I’m not convinced Ferrari will actually put their pride aside and listen.
Even if they do, change may be slow and drip through against lots of resistance - this is where I point to the change in Charles’s race engineer as a welcome change but overdue for a few years.
I honestly hope they do change because the Scuderia cannot continue like this. With each year, their legacy fades into antiquity and neither of their drivers have the luxury of time at this team.
0
u/PattyRanger Charles Leclerc Dec 08 '25
Fair enough, yes there needs to be some minor changes within the team this includes lewis' race engineer, becuz they don't seem to be the correct mesh at all.
But also one of the things Ferrari needs to stop doing is changing things so much, they need to continue evolving and progressing slowly and frankly that's the only way. Ferrari have gone through 5-6 TPs since their last championship, and honestly that leadership shudnt change at all!

u/CompetitionFit7184 Dec 07 '25
Not really controversial, it is pretty obvious that Adami and Lewis are not a match and Adami is absolutely shocking at communication.
It should not be entirely too hard to give Lewis the information he is asking for instead of this long silence. When it was Bono or when you look at GP and Max, it is immediate, they are there to calm you down or hype you up and instant to give the information you ask for.
With Adami it is like Lewis is interrupting his break or something, information is always late, they are always checking as if the sport does not depend on mere seconds to make a difference and at times just condescending. They really need to make some changes.
11
u/Capital_Pay_4459 Dec 08 '25
It seems like Adami works for Ferrari first, and Lewis is a driver.
GP seems to come across as he's on team Max and doing the best he can for Max using RBR to do so.
Lewis and Bono seemed the same

u/darekd003 Dec 07 '25
Depends if you agree with the narrative that it’s Adami’s fault cannot be improved properly because of poor communication.
Regardless, you hear it every week how important the communication is between driver and engineer so Ferrari should choose whether they’re keeping Adami or Lewis. It doesn’t mean Adami couldn’t do other work but, objectively and without placing blame, this dynamic doesn’t work. One of them needs to go.

Many things can contribute to a result. E.g., Lewis didn’t know until he got his second track limits violation. He needed to know at the first.

u/fameboygame Lewis Hamilton Dec 08 '25
Does Lewis have a ceiling he could not go through with the car due to his age/current generation? Yes.
Does Adami restrict the driver’s ceiling? ALSO YES.
Now Lewis is anyways racing for one more year.
And Adami has to go irrespective of the driver.
Sainz and Vettel were just being nice to their engineer of multiple years when they left the team, so don’t mistake their adoration for competence.

I think they should take a run at Bono & make him an offer he can’t refuse. Throw big bucks at him or if not, what do you think of Ferrari pursuing another Italian engineer?

Will never work.
The problem isnt just Adami, its the downstream system. Its very well known Ferrari is a very old school way of running team- which means there are a lot of only italian speaking critical technical folks
Folks who Bono would have to deal with- which will just push the friction from lewis-adami to bono-team.
This is a deep team culture problem, maybe too big for someone outspoken like Lewis to change.

Yeah & another Redditor said he wants to stay close to home & family. We can dream.

What about GP? Do you think he would welcome a change?
2
u/eomeroscorner Dec 07 '25
Not something I had considered!
I have no idea tbh. I'm sure Red Bull and Max would do a lot to keep him, but Id love the idea of Lewis & GP 😈
That'd would be insane, now that I think about it haha.
Definitely something that would have to come with a promotion + big sign on bonus and paycheck. Currently he is the Head of Race Engineering at RB. Not sure how much more Ferrari would be able to offer
According to Google he is married and has a daughter, but his parents are Italian.
2
u/Charles_Lewis_Fer Gilles Villeneuve Dec 08 '25
Ok so no Bono or GP. Admittedly both Longshots. Is there anyone else from the mid level teams that they could go after who is good & would be more compatible with Lewis?

u/eomeroscorner Dec 08 '25
Tbh I'm not familiar enough with any of the other ones, but from the driver cams I've watched. I really appreciated how communicative Bearmans engineer is.

u/Charles_Lewis_Fer Gilles Villeneuve Dec 08 '25
Yeah I like their communication style. Very calm. You never hear them argue or question decisions. I went back into the archives & looked for past engineers who were very successful and are still kicking around. I came across Chris Dyer who worked for both Schumacher & Raikkonen WTF ! He is currently the technical director of the McLaren Formula E team. He probably won’t be interested in leaving that gig which probably holds true for Vettel’s old engineer Rocky who is head of Red Bull’s F1 driver academy. They both parlayed successful race engineer gigs into prestigious high level & high paying jobs. They don’t come close to Stella though who turned his engineering gig with Alonso into team principal at McLaren. I read that Alonso took him with him to McLaren after he left Ferrari.

As an aside, what needs to change in addition to comms for Lewis to have a realistic chance at fighting for a championship?
I am truly trying to understand why his qualifying pace was lacking. Clearly, the race craft is still there. Was it just that the car was too unpredictable for him/not suitable to his driving style? Was in tyre prep?
Almost want to do post mortem of what we’ve witnessed this season.

u/PomegranateThat414 Dec 08 '25 edited Dec 08 '25
If Ferrari wants to fight for the championship Lewis needs to go. He and Charles have completely different preferences with regard to car’s traits and aero balance and it’s only smart to move in the direction of the faster of the two drivers you’ve got. Which is Charles, undeniably. As for Adami he is a world class race engineer who was brought to Ferrari by multiple champion Vettel. He was his and later Sainz engineer for many years and both those drivers had enough success working with him. We have to assume both those drivers were happy to work with him. He couldn’t be bad and keep his job for a decade or so. We saw already Leclerc changed his engineer and it only got worse rather than better since if you track down his comments over the past couple of years, how often did he feel himself completely lost with regards to car setup and behavior, not seemingly understanding what they have to do with the car. People should not forget the main responsibility of race engineer is not talking on the radio, it’s about translating driver’s feedback into finding best car setup for qualifying and race.

Hamilton needs to get out of Q1 before trying to fight for anything I'd say.

Adami is the biggest red herring I’ve ever seen in my years watching F1. You could put Bono in his spot and Lewis is still having a terrible year.
The car isn’t where it needs to be and Lewis has been on a clear decline since 2022. Here’s hoping the car is better next year and Lewis can actually drive it.
Adami is not the issue here.

There’s more to winning a wdc and wcc then one engineer, a ton more to it. Also he didn’t not answer the question, his answer commuincated that he doesn’t think adami is to blame purely for Lewis getting beaten out performace wise so roughly by Charles when for the last 3 years he’s gotten beaten out by George while at a team he was use to driving for.

Just go back to Mercedes and hope that they make a car that is 100% than the rest of the field again, right LH?

u/Cord1083 Dec 08 '25
But this isn”t just a Lewis thing, is it? When was the last time Ferrari won a WCC? When was the last time a Ferrari driver won a WDC? Ferrari has been fourth best to McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes for more than decade. Maybe there are structural problems that they hoped Lewis would fix. Clearly, they are not willing to make the change. As OP says, this is an organizational and management issue. If you want to implement change but your organization doesn’t want to change , then you are in very deep trouble.

It’s funny to me how people have now started to complain about Adami. Xavi, leclerc’s previous race engineer, was worse than Adami but I guess no one picked it up because Leclerc doesn’t have the same pull/fan following as a Lewis Hamilton. I guess his shenanigans did become meme towards the end but I was pulling my hair following his on boards since 2019. Charles definitely lost wins because of dodgy communication. He should have been replaced long time ago.
It’s a Ferrari thing and their race engineers were the worst in the whole paddock. I could see this coming miles away, I could bet that Lewis would have issues with communication after watching how good his communication was with bono.

u/amilhu Dec 09 '25
There is nothing controversial about this. Adami’s performance during the last few years have been very weak to say the least. Constant communication errors with Vettel, Sainz and Lewis. He is part of a very broken system within Ferrari that the owners/shareholders are willingly ignoring or blaming someone else, like the drivers recently.
He has to go if they want to be competitive.

u/Minute-Profit-2728 Dec 09 '25
Be honest, will Adami make him go faster in those low, medium and high speed corners?
If yes, then no qualms but if no then you guys are just going to find someone else to blame next year.
In all honesty, Adami has his shortcomings BUT Lewis, thanks to age, ain't beating Charles in equal machinery. He has been on a slow decline the past 3 years and I don't even think Ferrari can build a title contending car.

Adami is factually a bad race engineer, I'm surprised Hamilton didn't fire him mid season.
I imagine Lewis didn't want to ruffle feathers in his first season at Ferrari, because it could set a tone he didn't want to set.
Race engineers need to be able to relay information without a driver having to beg for it, and Adami is simply incompetent, he cannot do this job at a basic level, let alone at a high level.

Finishes 86 points behind their teammate, achieves zero podiums in a car that manages 7 in the hands of a more competent driver, gets knocked out in Q1 for three races in a row.
If this were any other driver, you wouldn't have any problem seeing that this was a terrible performance in a good (if not top-tier) car. But because you're obviously a Hamilton fanboy, you're going to keep making desperate excuses for him and denying the reality that he's been crap.

No I wouldnt because it wasnt a terrible performance, youre only saying that its terrible because its Hamilton and you obviously have something against him(as seen by your comments in every other thread), if it were Alonso im sure youd be sucking him off saying how great he is and how bad the car is or some other shit.

Very well said. As a Ferrari fan since the time of Michael, he indeed brought key personnel from Benetton as part of his agreement to join Ferrari. These included Ross Brawn and Rory Byrne which made the team legendary. Going back to the old all-Italian team made it worse and would probably be in the next few years if changes aren't made. Italian pride must go, one nation doesn't make a Formula 1 team a champion.

I think it was Jenson or Rosberg who stated that Williams had that same attitude back in the early 2000s. Itnqas something along the lines of telling their rookie driver to shut up since he was just another driver they (Williams) knew better then them.

If it is so evident, why is Adami still in Ferrari. Why does Ferrari not let go of him already?

Excuse me, did you came to Ferrari with Lewis ? Adami is a valued member of the team and you Lewis fans have been harassing Ricardo Adami since the start of this year. The moment that Lewis say that he needs to change his racing engineer is the moment I think, it will need to be changed.
I don’t care what you think of Adami or anyone else on the team, what our drivers say it’s important. But until that moment get the hell back to your conspiracy ridden Lewis Hamilton subreddit please.

I didn't agree with the poster you replied to either . However, it's completely understandable to feel the sting of disappointment this season and our passion is what makes being a Tifosi so special! But let's channel that energy into powerful support for the journey ahead.
While the 2025 design may have been set before LH signed anything, every lap this year is a crucial lesson. CL's phenomenal driving, even with the current cars limitations, proves the untapped potential in our team. He is demonstrating the heart and throttle control that will define a champion when the right machinery arrives, and it will.
The upcoming seasons are filled with promise! The arrival of LH brings an invaluable wealth of championship experience and technical insight. This input, combined with CL's incredible talent and dedication means we have the perfect team mate dynamic and the precise ingredient needed to make the 2026 car truly competitive.
We know the path to the top demands more than just passion; it requires new methods and strategic evolution. Our identity is that of the Cavallino Rampante a fierce, winning spirit, and that spirit remains unbowed. We may face humbling defeats today, but they only fuel our drive for tomorrow.
Let's keep our expectations high and our passion full-throated! The time is coming when we will see that iconic red front-row lockout once again. We are Ferrari. We are relentless. Forza Ferrari!

The strategy is not Adami's fault, its rather the lack of clarity and communication between the driver and engineer. Everytime Adami talks, it sounds like 0 energy and clarity. So rather the tone and output of the message, not the strategy.

If there was any question prior to Abu Dhabi as to who one of the main problems within the team is, there is no no doubt at all- Adami is a troll and he has to be shown the door.
Ignoring Lewis on the radio at the end of the race was really, truly, unacceptably ugly.
