The Australian Grand Prix 2025 was a difficult one for the Scuderia Ferrariwho signed its worst start to a season in years. Despite high expectations with an unprecedented duo of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, rain, interruptions and chaotic conditions reduced Ferrari to a meagre 5 points. A championship start of Formula 1 difficult for a team that was hoping to get back to winning ways this season.
After this tumultuous race, one man spoke out to bring a message of hope to Ferrari fans: Anthony Hamilton, Lewis's father. In an exclusive interview with Canal+, he expressed his unwavering support for the Scuderia, while addressing strong, positive words to the Ferrari tifosi.
"We are fighters
"We're so happy to be at Ferrari. We would have preferred a better result today, but these things happen," said Anthony Hamilton, clearly aware of the difficulties faced by his son Lewis and the entire Ferrari team. "As far as we're concerned, we're fighters, just like Ferrari, which is a world champion team," he added with conviction. He also stressed the importance of the future: "We're going to rebuild this team, not just for us and for Ferrari, but for Italy and all the fans."
Anthony Hamilton's words sound like a call to patience and hope. Ferrari, multiple world champions, have already been through some difficult times. But with this talented pair of drivers and a close-knit team, the tifosi can look forward to better days ahead.
