'I Will Be 2000 Percent Behind Him': Vasseur Defends Hamilton After Saudi GP Struggles
Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur has come out swinging in defence of Lewis Hamilton after the seven-time world champion endured another disappointing weekend at the 2025 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, describing criticism of the British driver’s early-season form as "bullshit" in a fiery post-race rant.
Hamilton, who made a sensational switch from Mercedes to Ferrari this season, finished seventh in Jeddah — a performance that fell well short of expectations and was further underlined by team-mate Charles Leclerc’s podium finish. The Monegasque qualified fourth and secured Ferrari’s first Grand Prix podium of the year with a strong drive to third.
Hamilton’s reaction after the race was sombre. Calling the outing “horrible”, the 40-year-old admitted the rest of his season “is going to be painful” — a brutally honest self-assessment of what has so far been an underwhelming stint in red.
