F1 LIVE: Red Bull CHIEF Horner Mocks Hamilton’s T…read more.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has taken a dig at Lewis Hamilton following the seven-time world champion’s difficult debut with Ferrari. Hamilton, who made a high-profile switch from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season, has struggled in his first few races with the Italian team, facing car reliability issues and underwhelming results.
Horner, never one to hold back, commented on Hamilton’s struggles, suggesting that his move might not have been as wise as it seemed. “Switching teams always comes with challenges, but maybe Lewis is realizing that the grass isn’t always greener,” Horner remarked during an interview. His comments come after Hamilton finished outside the podium in consecutive races, raising concerns about Ferrari’s ability to provide him with a title-contending car.
Ferrari, despite showing promise in pre-season testing, has faced setbacks with tire degradation and race pace, limiting Hamilton’s ability to challenge Red Bull’s dominance. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen has continued his strong form, leading the championship standings.
While some fans see Horner’s remarks as playful banter, others believe it’s a sign of the ongoing rivalry between Red Bull and Hamilton. The British driver has yet to respond publicly, but sources close to him suggest he remains optimistic about improving Ferrari’s performance.
With the season still in its early stages, Hamilton will be eager to prove his critics wrong and fight for wins. However, if Ferrari’s struggles persist, Horner’s words may carry more weight than just playful teasing.
