Lewis Hamilton’s future in Formula 1 has come under intense scrutiny following his struggles with Ferrari in the 2025 season.

The seven-time world champion, who made a high-profile switch from Mercedes, has failed to deliver the expected results, leading to speculation about an early retirement.

Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher has weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Hamilton may walk away from the sport if Ferrari does not improve its performance soon.

Hamilton’s disappointing start with Ferrari has raised concerns among fans and analysts alike. Despite securing a sprint race victory in China, his overall results have been underwhelming, with no podium finishes in the first five races. Schumacher believes that if Ferrari fails to provide a competitive car, Hamilton could decide to end his career rather than continue struggling.

The British driver has remained optimistic about his chances, but his frustration with Ferrari’s SF-25 challenger is evident. Schumacher pointed out that Hamilton’s body language and performance suggest he is losing motivation. “If it continues like this, there is a risk that at some point Lewis will say, ‘I don’t want all this anymore, I want to live my life, I’m 40 years old and I’m so rich that I don’t want to do this anymore,’” Schumacher remarked.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Hamilton and Ferrari. Will the team make the necessary improvements to keep him in F1, or will Schumacher’s prediction come true? The Miami Grand Prix could be a turning point in Hamilton’s career, determining whether he fights on or considers an early exit from the sport.
