F1 News: Hamilton Just Said What Ferrari's Bosses HAVEN'T…?!

F1 News today as Lewis Hamilton publicly backs Fred Vasseur amid fresh Ferrari leadership questions — but why is Hamilton doing the defending while Ferrari’s senior leadership remains largely silent? Plus Franco Colapinto fires back at Lando Norris, Toto Wolff faces his toughest Mercedes team-management test yet, Max Verstappen admits what Red Bull have had to accept in 2026, and we preview the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia at Sepang. Hamilton has called Vasseur a “fantastic leader” and “the guy to take this team in the right direction”, while also stressing that Ferrari’s problems are bigger than one individual. Charles Leclerc has backed Vasseur too. So does that strengthen Fred’s position — or make the silence from above him even more interesting? 👉 Subscribe to F1 Grandstand:    / @f1grandstand   🚨 F1 NEWS: HAMILTON PUBLICLY BACKS VASSEUR Lewis Hamilton has defended Fred Vasseur as speculation continues around Ferrari’s leadership.
