F1: Ecclestone names two to replace Hamilton at Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton went on vacation with many doubts and few certainties. His adventure in Ferrari, to date, is disastrous. As he has reiterated on several occasions, it is the most difficult season of his entire career. Everything is going wrong, so much so that the seven-time World Champion has “advised” the Cavallino that, perhaps, it would be preferable to rely on another driver.

Idea shared by Ecclestone. The’former F1 patron is convinced that Hamilton has had his day and that it would be appropriate for the Briton to step aside so as to make way for someone more motivated and with fire in him.

Ecclestone, to the Daily Mail, also mentioned two names as possible replacements for Hamilton himself, who, best to remember, still has one year left on his contract with the Redhead (in 2026 all the regulations will change and also the single-seaters on the track).

“If I could steal it, I would take Isack Hadjar from the Racing Bulls. He did very well in his first year and is a good guy. I also appreciate our friend from Brazil (Gabriel Bortoleto, ed.). He is talented“, the 94-year-old Ecclestone’s words. Now it will be up to Hamilton to respond, on the track, to the “judgments” of Ecclestone. After the summer break, the seven-time World Champion is expected to prove that he is still capable of making a difference.
