Former Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill has launched a sharp critique of the internal dynamics currently surrounding Ferrari. As the season nears its conclusion, Hill emphasized that the Maranello-based team is facing a serious political problem regarding the rivalry between its two drivers. The racing legend argued that the team must take a decisive stance by prioritizing Lewis Hamilton as their lead driver to secure future world titles.
"They have invested everything into him, they have this massive name in the sport on board. If they have a competitive car next year, they could win both world championships, but I don't see how they are going to win them with two drivers behaving the way they are right now, with Charles constantly racing against Lewis," Hill remarked during a post-race analysis after the Brazilian GP at Interlagos.
Hill highlighted that driver tension will not serve Scuderia's ambitions to challenge the dominance of other top-tier teams. In his view, team management must define a clear strategic direction. "As a team principal, you have to make a decision on how you want to throw yourself into the fight. And I think it makes sense to go all-in on Lewis. They have gone to all the trouble and investment to get him there. It would clearly be a huge sensation. His eighth world title is virtually within reach," he added.
Furthermore, Hill praised Hamilton's mental fortitude, noting his ability to bounce back from difficult times following the 2021 Abu Dhabi controversy. To him, the British driver possesses an extraordinary personality, evidenced by the pole positions and race wins achieved this season—a feat many deemed unlikely just last year.
Hill concluded with a stern warning for team management. He perceives internal factions driving a wedge of support within the garage. "I think we need to clear this up within the team because there is a political problem there. To me, it looks like there are factions within the team that are leaning one way or the other. That sort of thing cannot happen if you want to be a serious competitor for Red Bull Racing, McLaren, and Mercedes," he stated.
