Hill says Ferrari has a political problem amid Hamilton revival

Former Formula 1 champion Damon Hill believes Ferrari has a political problem, despite team principal Fred Vasseur saying Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc had left a private meeting in Brazil joking together. Speaking to Sky Sports F1, Hill said factions appear to be forming within the team, with people backing one driver or the other.

Hill linked the friction to Hamilton's form in 2026. He said the seven-time champion had been affected deeply since the 2021 title decider in Abu Dhabi, and that he had rebuilt himself after joining Ferrari, performing better than Hill had expected.

Hill said the team needs to settle the issue internally.
